History
After initially collaborating with several American recording artists, Watson went on to expand his sound internationally, working with several foreign pop artists, including Alexandra Burke ("Bad Boys"), BoA ("I Did It For Love") and Rainie Yang ("It's Our World"). Burke's single "Bad Boys" entered the UK Singles Chart at number one[1] and spent 25 consecutive weeks in the top seventy-five. The track is certified platinum in the United Kingdom.[2] BoA’s "I Did It For Love" peaked at number 19 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play.[3]
In 2010, The Phantom Boyz worked with the singer-songwriter Christina Aguilera and produced her song, "The Beautiful People", which is on the Burlesque film soundtrack and sold over a million units world wide. The Phantom Boyz signed several recording acts to their roster, including the pop artist J Rice,[4] between 2009 and 2011.
