Music Prodigy Ryan Leslie Has An 'Addiction'

ryanleslie.jpg

Emily Frances sat down with musical prodigy Ryan Leslie, a native New Yorker, to talk about his rise to fame.

At the age of 19 he graduated from Harvard University and has gone on to produce hits for the likes of Diddy, Britney, Beyonce and found singer Cassie. Called a "phenom" in the music industry, Ryan is now concentrating on his own album and is releasing his first music video "Addiction" feat. Cassie and Fabolous.

We caught up with him at the video shoot to find out what makes him tick.
