Qadree El-Amin, the man best known as the mastermind behind the careers of Grammy Award winning artists Boyz II Men, will launch his long-anticipated star-studded biography, Qadree El-Amin: AMAN.
Written by Debra Reina and Tom Miller, the book recounts El-Amin's life and career, featuring exclusive photos of him with both his family and the myriad of celebrities that he has interacted with and done business with.
While he is largely recognized for his phenomenal success with Boyz II Men, the El-Amin stamp extends far beyond the popular 90's boy band. Through his Southpaw Entertainment Company, he has also served as the Midas touch manager to global superstars Michael Jackson, Vanessa Williams, Janet Jackson, Teddy Riley & Blackstreet, Deborah Cox, Lou Bega and several other notables. He has also interacted closely with several notable music industry executives, including Clive Davis, L.A. Reid, Jimmy Iovine and Tommy Mottola.
After four decades in the entertainment industry, El-Amin says he is happy to share his life story with readers, but he stresses that this is just the “first chapter” of his life. “I have enjoyed every phase and every aspect of my career in the entertainment business so far, but I am certain that my biggest accomplishments are yet to come; I'm very excited about what I will achieve in the future.”
Also a successful entrepreneur, with his two clothing lines, Southpaw and Heavy Hittaz; a producer of television specials; a producer of film soundtracks and a passionate philanthropist for various charitable endeavors, the native of Brick City (Newark, NJ), who skillfully worked his way to the Bright Lights of Los Angeles, is tireless. Internationally recognized among trendsetters and tastemakers, El-Amin will launch his glittering biography, Qadree El-Amin: AMAN, in June 2012.
He is a man who took some boys to men and he's always been a man with his eye on the prize.

I used to love watching this show when I was little for some reason. The couples looked so happy and did in its unique way promote marriage. Here's some basic info about the show and Sherri.
There’s more to marriage than moonlight and roses—there’s also those uncomfortable moments of “too much information,” embarrassing marital quirks and plenty of annoying habits. GSN offers all of the above with 41 new episodes of THE NEWLYWED GAME, hosted by Sherri Shepherd, premiering Monday, March 12, 2012 at 6:00 PM ET.
New episodes of THE NEWLYWED GAME will air every Monday and Tuesday at 6:00 PM and 6:30 PM ET on GSN.
THE NEWLYWED GAME is GSN’s modern installment of the classic series showcasing three newly married couples of wide-ranging backgrounds who face off in a series of question rounds. During each round, a spouse attempts to guess his or her mate’s answer to questions about their relationship, ranging from the first time they met to the details of their love life. At the end of the game, the couple scoring the most points wins exciting prizes.
