Methrone was born in Plant City, Florida on November 6, 1975. Carlos Methrone Reynolds was given his|middle name by his Aunt Mildred. Today his personal manager, his aunt Jaqueline Reynolds, is also a co-|executive producer of the CD. Methrone was raised up by his grandmother Carolyn in the sleepy Florida|Gulf Coast town, 14 miles inland from Tampa. Methrone was dancing by age five, and began to realize|he could sing at twelve.He spent time in the church choir and entered talent shows covering Michael|Jackson’s ‘Billie Jean’ and ‘Beat It,’ and New Edition’s ‘Lost In Love.’ By the time he graduated from high|school, he had begun to teach himself piano by ear and learn the rudiments of using a sequencer to program|tracks and cut his first demo, a song called ‘Lovely Young Thing.’ Having outgrown the Tampa music|scene, Methrone accepted his sister Faye’s invitation to move to Atlanta and pursue his music dreams|there. Working on a keyboard at home, he sequenced his music and found a studio where he could dump|the tracks and record vocals. The three songs on his first demo, ‘Slow & Steady,’ ‘Last Time,’ and ‘Got 2 Go,’|all of which were cut at Sweet Sounds Productions in Atlanta (and remain grouped together on MY LIFE)|attracted a buzz around town.|Working with his personal manager (Jacqueline Reynolds), Methrone soon came to the attention of the|legendary Willie Clayton. Clayton’s belief in Methrone is unshakable. His first mission was to get Methrone|to come up with enough additional material to support a full album. He had already written ‘Loving Each|Other For Life,’ ‘You Don’t Have 2 Worry’ and ‘Your Body,’ and now followed them up with ‘My Life,’ ‘Hold|Me,’ and ‘I Wanna Get Freaky,’ all six of which were cut at CD 2000 Studios in Atlanta. Willie Clayton stayed|faithful to his word, the album was completed, and soon Methrone was on the road visiting radio stations in|Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit and other major urban markets.|One year later the follow album Picture Me was released.
