Hurby "Luv Bug" Azor, also known as Fingerprints (born September 26, 1964), is a Haitian musician and hip-hop music producer. Azor is best known for discovering and producing the hip–hop trio Salt-n-Pepa and the rap duo Kid 'n Play.

Early life

Born in Port-de-Paix, Azor is Haitian.[2]

Career

In late 1985, with the fad 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]

Azor also dated Salt from 1984 to 1989.
