Career
In late 1985, with the rise of hip-hop response records all the rage, Azor and the group Salt-N-Pepa (then known as Super Nature) recorded a response to Doug E. Fresh & The Get Fresh Crew's "The Show" called "The Show Stoppa". He also went on to produce Dana Dane, Sweet Tee, Kwamé and others.
Azor wrote and performed in Salt-N-Pepa's music video for "Push It", on keyboards and backup vocals, and also wrote the trio's song "Let's Talk About Sex", among others. In 1995, he co-wrote and produced Snow's single "Anything for You", which became the top-selling single in Jamaica that year.[3]
