Walter Worth Millsap III, sometimes also credited as Lil Walt,[1] is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, rapper and music executive.[2]

Career

In 1997,[3] as a teenager, Millsap inked a publishing deal with Jon Platt at EMI and signed a management contract with Jay Brown of Elektra Records.[4] In the early 2000s, he became a protégé of producer Timbaland, with whom he engineered "Heatburn" on Alicia Keys' second album The Diary of Alicia Keys (2003). His work on the song later earned him a Grammy Award nomination in the Album of the Year category.[4] Along with Timbaland, Millsap also co-wrote songs for artists such as Jennifer Lopez and Kiley Dean.[4] In 2004, he co-wrote the majority of Brandy's fourth studio album Afrodisiac.[3]

In the late 2000s, Millsap ventured into artist development and founded his own label Conjunction Entertainment.[2] He teamed up with Streamline Records chief Vincent Herbert to find members for a boy group which was later named Mindless Behaviour. Millsap signed them to Interscope Records and produced their top ten debut album Number 1 Girl.[5] In the 2010, he would sign singers Angie Stone and Dave Hollister, both of whom he had worked before, to Conjunction Entertainment. Stone would release three out of four final studio albums, before her death, with Millsap, who co-wrote and produce most of her material and took over Stone's management.[6]
