Eric Bellinger
"Contemporary R&B songwriter and singer Eric Bellinger is the grandson of Bobby Day -- a musician most well-known for the 1958 number two hit 'Rockin' Robin.' A Compton, California native, Bellinger starred as a running back on his high school football team and was offered a scholarship to play for and attend the University of Southern California. Around the same time, the Epic label presented him with a recording contract. Bellinger opted to go with music, but his career advanced more as a songwriter than an artist. From 2009 through 2013, he co-wrote dozens of songs for high-profile artists, including two cuts on Chris Brown's Grammy-winning F.A.M.E., Brandy's 'Without You,' and Justin Bieber's 'Right Here.'"
