Anthony "Ryan" Leslie was born September 25, 1978 in Washington, D.C.

Founder of the media company NextSelection Lifestyle Group, Leslie has produced singles for a number of artists in a variety of genres, ranging from R&B/hip-hop to pop to gospel. Ryan Leslie began making music as a teenager. He scored a perfect 1600 on his SATs before he was old enough to drive and graduated from Harvard at the age of 19. He got a foothold in the music industry within four years of graduation and by the end of 2005, he had written and/or produced tracks for 702, Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Carl Thomas and New Edition.
From 2005–2006, he had his most commercial success to date with NextSelection/Bad Boy/Atlantic recording artist Cassie and her single Me & U.

Although both of Leslie's albums peaked in the Top Ten of Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, he and his label parted. He went independent with Les Is More, released in October 2012 on NextSelection and distributed through the Sony-owned RED. He then began work on his fourth album, Black Mozart. Ryan Leslie was nominated for a Grammy in 2011.
