Vurdell “VScript” Muller
Hailing from the 504, Vurdell “VScript” Muller has always been a connoisseur of music. Script got his start around the city of New Orleans winning dance contests in the popular dance duo “Fire & Ice”- Heavily influenced by the city’s culture and early 90’s R&B, he took his passion for dancing to the music and elevated to writing it. He linked up with R&B phenom Rantz Davis and began writing hit after hit which landed him as the first R&B artist to break in New Orleans locally to make it to the Billboard charts. This ignited his passion for world wide impact through music so he moved to Atlanta to reach a bigger audience. He soon created the multi Grammy nominated “ Supa Friendz Music Group”, a collective of talented writers and producers that move the culture through music.
Also a member of Safety Club International, V has become one of the hottest songwriters in the game. Vurdell has carved out his niche as a popular tastemaker, panelist, writing camp curator and the brains behind the Beleee Dat Brand. Script is a 4x Grammy Nominee. He is a frequent collaborator of Eric Bellinger, with whom he earned his first grammy nomination as A&R and co-writer for the album "New Light.” He has written for artists such as Chris Brown penning the single C.A.B. which is now nominated for Album of the Year. He also served as executive producer of Danileigh's latest EP "My Side." Vurdell is currently Head of A&R for Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins.
In 2022, Script embarked on a life changing experience when he went to the motherland and fell in love with Afro Beat. This took him back to his NOLA roots of bounce music and he coined the genre “Afro Bounce”. A soul stirring mix of 808’s and chants fused with African undertones and New Orleans nuance. He took his idea and began to collaborate with both South Africans and New Orleanians to bring his vision to life. Together they make a new sound engineered by V through his authentic experiences and the desire to bring joy and feel good vibes to the world that is sure to disrupt the industry.

T. Villa
YOUNG VILLA HAD SOMETHING ELSE TOO, SOMETHING SPECIAL. HE KNEW HOW TO RHYME, HE COULD PUT WORDS TOGETHER AND NOBODY HAD TO SHOW HIM HOW. IT CAME NATURALLY, AS NATURALLY AS HUSTLING DID. BUT SOMETIMES REAL LIFE TAKES A FRONT SEAT TO OUR PASSIONS AND WHEN YOU'RE THE MAN OF THE HOUSE YOU'VE GOT A CHOICE TO MAKE: WRITE THESE RHYMES OR PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE.
SO SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE HUSTLE AND THE SOUND BOOTH, T. VILLA WAS BORN. THE ROAD WAS BUMPY AND FILLED WITH ITS UPS AND DOWNS. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION THERE WERE RUN-INS WITH THE LAW.
BY 2012 VILLA DECIDED THAT MUSIC WOULD BE HIS LIFE. HE'D BE THE IMPRESARIO IN HIS OWN FUTURE AND IT LOOKED BRIGHT. SO BRIGHT IN FACT THAT HE WROTE FEVERISHLY AND PERFORMED TINY CONCERTS OVER BEATS RANDOMLY ON PEOPLES' VOICEMAIL. THE STREETS STILL CALLED THOUGH. THAT LAST RUN-IN HAD HIM FACING TOO MANY YEARS IN PRISON. BUT WITH PRAYER, GOOD LAWYERS AND THAT VILLA SAVVY, THOSE YEARS TURNED TO MONTHS, JUST 6 OF THEM.
IT WAS ALL IN DIVINE ORDER. IT WAS THAT SOLITUDE IN AN OHIO JAIL CELL THAT ALLOWED T. VILLA THE TIME TO TRULY BECOME T. VILLA, TO BE STILL, TO PICK APART HIS INNATE SKILL AND PERFECT IT. HE WAS ABLE TO TURN HIS LIFE EXPERIENCE INTO MUSICAL CONTENT THAT WASN'T FORCED OR CONTRIVED. IT MADE WRITING EASIER BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE TO MAKE ANY OF IT UP. HE COULD TELL HIS STORY THROUGH A PLATFORM THAT WAS BUILT FOR IT. HIP- HOP COULD SURELY STAND THE WEIGHT OF THE HEAVINESS THAT WAS BEING YOUNG AND BLACK IN DETROIT CITY.
AND SO IT BEGAN. A LIFE DEDICATED TO HIS FIRST PASSION BEGAN TO UNFOLD. VILLA DECIDED THAT STREET LIFE DID NOT HAVE A PLACE IN THE REST OF HIS LIFE. HE CHOSE WHAT HE LOVED AND VOWED TO MAKE IT WORK. HE'D USE HIS INHERENT BUSINESS ACUMEN, THE TENANTS OF HUSTLING AND SHEER DETERMINATION TO LIVE BETTER AND FUEL THE PURSUIT OF HIS DREAMS. THE MORE HE RHYMED AND FREESTYLED, THE MORE PEOPLE BEGAN TO GRAVITATE TOWARD HIS MUSIC. ACCORDING TO THEM, HE HAD “IT”.

T.VILLA WENT FROM PRODUCING A 10-TRACK MIXTAPE IN HIS HOMEBOY'S LIVING ROOM STUDIO TO HAVING A NOTABLE RAPPORT WITH INDUSTRY VETS WILLING TO GRANT HIM RADIO PLAY. THE HELLUVA PRODUCED SINGLE “BIG” HAS BEEN STREAMED OVER 3 MILLION TIMES ON MUSIC HOSTING SITES AND IS AN INSTANT HIT. WHEN DETROIT DEEJAY'S HEARD IT, THEY REACHED OUT TO VILLA IMMEDIATELY AND BEGAN PLAYING IT DURING THEIR RADIO PROGRAMS.
VILLA HAS REMIXED (WITH PERMISSION FROM DEF JAM) KANYE WEST'S “LIFT YOURSELF”, IS PERPETUALLY IN THE STUDIO RECORDING AND HAS A FULL ROSTER OF PERFORMANCES LINED UP INCLUDING BET WEEKEND, DETROIT SUMMER JAMZ AND A HOST OF RADIO SPONSORED APPEARANCES.
VILLA HAS BEEN FEATURED ON BALLER ALERT, SAY CHEESE TV, DJ SMALLZ, SHADE 45, GAINED INTEREST FROM ICE CUBE AND THE BIG 3 FOR MUSIC, BEEN FEATURED IN MOVIES, AND PERFORMED WITH SOME OF THE TOP NAMES IN THE INDUSTRY AROUND THE COUNTRY. WITH A LONG LIST OF OTHER NOTABLE ACCOLADES.
