Raised in Jamaica, Queens, and now based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Bingham is the son of a preacher.
He started in the music industry as a pianist and vocalist in 1982 for the then-new Phonogram studios, where he recorded several tracks on the White Soul album project with underground jazz artists.
A few years later, Bingham was called to replace lead vocalist Mark Stevens into the Queens-based funk trio The Jamaïca Boys, which also included Marcus Miller and Lenny White.
[1] After hit singles such as "Move It", "Shake It Up", or "Pick Up The Phone", the group disbanded and Bingham became a full-time producer.
Bingham also served as musical director for the R&B group Guy, and has been the mentor to several current successful hip-hop/R&B producers such as Supa Dave West, Rockwilder and Jimi Kendrix.
