C+C Music Factory

David Cole and Robert Clivilles are another page withen the story book of the American Dream coming to life. Robert Clivilles and David Cole were raised in very similar backgrounds and upbringing: poor, large families and raised in the ghetto wonderland in the streets of New York.

Robert born in Spanish Harlem, then raised in Money making Manhattan and the Lower East Side as well as Part time in Puerto Rico.

David born in Tennessee then raised in New Jersey.

Both with their eyes focused on Musical Success but from different perspectives with one common ground, "To Make it Happen".

I remember back in the day, I showed david my bedroom where I slept with my 4 other brothers all stacked up like sardines and then he showed me the couch in his living room that served also as his bedroom. We would laugh about it and then we would get serious and say "we gotta change it".

Robert Clivilles and David Cole made that change happen and soared into Iconic Status in the Dance, POP and Urban Worldwide Music Science as Songwriters, Record Producers, Arrangers, DJs and Remixers. Everything they touched turned into an instant classic. They are responsible for selling over 125 million albums and over 20 million singles around the world. They have won any and every single award that exists on the planet a few times over having anything to do with "Music": MTV, Grammies, Billboard, ASCAP songwriters, American Music awards, World Music, Latin, Urban, the list keeps going.

In early 1995 David Cole passed away and Robert Clivilles literally walked away from the Music Industry voluntarily after the then CEOs of Sony Music Entertainment dropped C & C Music Factory on the exact day of David Coles burial. It was hard for me Mr. Clivilles recalls because I had lost a very close friend and brother and as I was experiencing that great lost, as a second smack, the people that I had worked so hard and made so much money for delivering nothing but hits over the years did not take note through out the years that C&C Music Factory was my personal baby and vision withen our partnership. So I left and learned reality of life holding the memory of spending many weeks with david at the side of his hospital bed that there was much more to life than battling the Politics of The Music Business and that life is just to short to waste it.

Now after 12 years since davids passing, Robert Clivilles has decided to return to his first love, "Making Music", most recently making noise with one of his recent projects, M.V.P. (M.ost V.aluable P.layas) whose first single titled: Roc ya Body (mic check 1,2) hit no.3 on the European POP Charts as well as went no.1 on Z100 & KTU twice, you can check the M.V.P. video out on Robert Clivilles's personal Myspace music page located on C&C's top friends. New singles of different performers produced by Robert Clivilles will be released in Spring of 2009.
