Jim Jonsin

In addition to the chart success at the 51st Grammys Jonsin won for Best Rap Song.

A few months after the release of "Lollipop", Jonsin followed up with writing and producing T.I.'s 5× platinum single "Whatever You Like".

The song found cross over success and was on Billboard's Hot 100 for 7 weeks.

"Whatever You Like" was also a popular ringmaster spending 18 weeks at the top of Billboard's Hot Ringmaster's chart.

James Gregory Scheffer (born June 8, 1970), professionally known as Jim Jonsin, is an American record producer from South Florida.

He has produced for numerous musical artists, including Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, Usher, Lil Wayne, Kid Cudi, Eminem, Pitbull, Yelawolf, Nelly, Mary J. Blige, Wiz Khalifa, Danity Kane and Jamie Foxx, among others.

In the late 1990s, Jonsin was no longer on tour and returned to Miami to produce more bass records, and eventually landed a position as an engineer at Slip N Slide records.

At the label Jim produced records for Trick Daddy and Trina.

The single is a follow-up to Nelly's single "Dilemma" from 2002 which also featured Rowland and reigned for 10 weeks at #1 on Billboard's Hot 100.

In 2004 Jonsin went on to write and produce Trick Daddy's hit single "Let's Go" (featuring Lil Jon & Twista).

Soon after the success of this song Jonsin went on to work with Miami rapper Pitbull and produced "Dammit Man" off the rapper's debut album M.I.A.M.I., which was certified Gold.

The music industry began to take notice of the Miami-based producer and Jonsin was tapped by Bad Boy Records to produce a record for the group which was made widely popular by the MTV reality show, Making the Band, Danity Kane.

Jonsin produced their single entitled "Show Stopper" which went on to be certified Gold by the RIAA.

In 2006, Jonsin launched his own record label Rebel Rock Entertainment, through which he signed then-unknown rapper B.o.B.

Jonsin formed his record label, Rebel Rock Entertainment, in 2006.

He received a Grammy Award for his work on Lil Wayne's 2008 single "Lollipop," and received a nomination for Best Rap Album for his work on "Whatever You Like" by T.I. that same year.

Furthermore, both songs would peak the Billboard Hot 100.

In 2008, Jonsin wrote and produced for Lil Wayne's 5× platinum single "Lollipop" released in early 2008.

The song was at #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for 5 weeks which was the first time Lil Wayne had achieved this chart position.

At the close of 2008 continued this string of success with his production on Soulja Boy Tell 'Em's "Kiss Me Thru The Phone".

The song was downloaded over 2 million times and was also a popular ringmaster spending 11 weeks at the top of Billboard's Hot Ringmaster's chart.

The song went on to reach number 3 on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart.

In 2009, Jonsin co-produced the single entitled "Sweet Dreams" on Beyonce's multi Grammy winning and double platinum album I Am… Sasha Fierce.

This record achieved platinum status and reached #10 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart.

Shortly after "Sweet Dreams" was released Jonsin reteamed with Pitbull, producing "Hotel Room Service" which was certified platinum and reached #8 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart.

Jonsin's productions have been on other Grammy Award-winning records such as Beyoncé's I Am... Sasha Fierce (2010 Best Contemporary R&B album), Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III (2008 Best Rap Album), Usher's Raymond v. Raymond (2011 Best Contemporary R&B album), and Usher's "There Goes My Baby" (2011 Best Male R&B Vocal Performance), and Eminem's Recovery (2011 Best Rap Album and Album of the Year).

Jonsin's label partnered with Atlantic Records and later T.I.'s Grand Hustle Records to release B.o.B.'s debut album, The Adventures of Bobby Ray (2010).

The late summer of 2010 proved to be another high point for Jonsin's career.

On August 16 Nelly released "Just a Dream", co-produced by Jonsin.

This single went platinum and reached #3 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart.

The day after "Just a Dream" was released, Kid Cudi released the Jonsin-produced "Erase Me" featuring Kanye West, which reached #22 on Billboard's Hot 100.

Another August release Jonsin wrote and produced on was former American Idol winner Fantasia on "Falling In Love Tonight" off of Fantasia's Grammy nominated album Back To Me.

Jonsin produced Eminem's "Space Bound" from Recovery, the top selling album of 2010 as well as the 53rd Grammy's Best Rap Album.

He signed B.o.B as the label's first artist, who in 2010 made his debut appearance on to the music scene with great success.

In early 2011 Nelly released "Gone" featuring Kelly Rowland, which Jonsin again co-produced.

"On My Level" was released by Wiz Khalifa (which features Too Short) on Rolling Papers on March 29, 2011.

It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, and was followed up with the albums Strange Clouds (2012) and Underground Luxury (2013).

Jonsin signed other acts to the label including singer Leroy Sanchez, as well as fellow producers FnZ, Danny Morris, and Frank Romano.

Outside of music, he entered into the field of professional racing in February 2012 and formed his own motorsports team, Rebel Rock Racing.

Jonsin drove a Porsche 911 in the Grand-am Road Racing series with co-driver D.J. Randall that same year.
