Tribute To Silas “ Buddy “ Thompson

NEW YORK -- Antwan Thompson grew up, as he describes it, in one of the roughest neighborhoods in the Bronx. 

But when he picked up drumsticks for the first time as a kid, he knew music was his calling. 

Now, he's known as Amadeus, one of the most sought after music producers in the hip-hop and R&B world. He's worked with superstars like Jennifer Lopez, Chris Brown and Trey Songz.

He also uses that success to tour the country motivating and providing opportunities for the younger generation.
