The Featherstones are a record production and songwriting team from Baltimore, Maryland consisted of Justin, Christopher, William, and Matthew Featherstone.
History In 1997, the Featherstones created their production company with their father Lurenda Featherstone and began working with local artists Mystory and the singing group Everidae. While performing in a talent show hosted by The Baltimore Times at Security Square Mall, The Featherstones had the opportunity of meeting Sisqo of the singing group Dru Hill. It was there where he first heard them sing an original song written and produced by the Featherstones. He was so impressed that it led to the Featherstones first full production credit in 2002. "I Should Be..." both written and produced by the Featherstones was the lead single performed by American singing group Dru Hill from their third album Dru World Order. The single "I Should Be..." went on to reach number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The Featherstones collaborated with Kevin Gates in 2013 on his album Stranger Than Fiction. They were contacted by their publisher to produce the track "Smiling Faces," which was designed to highlight Gates' versatility. Following the success of this track, the Featherstones and Gates continued their professional relationship on subsequent projects.
