Producer: Cori Jacobs

The Bay Area Producers Conference (BAPC), the San Francisco  Bay Area’s premier event for the music community to learn, nework, and  succeed, has announced Grammy nominated music producer, and Bay Area  native, Cori Jacobs as the keynote speaker for 2011.

Cori who was nominated for his work with the top-charting  dance act, the Pussycat Dolls, has an extensive discography which  includes work on projects for Beyonce, Brooke Valentine, and David  Hollister. His production expertise, coupled with his musical  proficiency gained through music director roles for George Clinton, Sly  Stone, and Lauryn Hill, made Cori an obvious and appropriate fit for  this year’s conference.

“We look forward to bringing Cori back home to deliver a  message,” says Mario Flores, says BAPC founder and executive producer.  “This selection is consistent with our theme of connectivity: meeting  people who matter. Cori moved to LA and had to sacrifice, put in a lot  of hard work, and meet many people along the way who contributed to his  success. His story contains many lessons that our audience will be able  to relate to and learn from.”
