[1] They have produced hits for Ruben Studdard, Wild Orchid, Christina Aguilera and Evelyn Champagne King and helped build the career of Rihanna.
They also worked on the legendary Beat Street soundtrack and began to build a reputation by producing such artists as Cheryl Lynn, Stephanie Mills and Jennifer Holliday.
They then crossed over to the pop world by engineering the comeback of Donny Osmond, writing and producing the number 2 smash "Soldier of Love" and the Top 10 hit "Sacred Emotion".
Following their success with Donny Osmond, they formed an R&B group called Rythm Syndicate with John Nevin, Rob Mingrino and Kevin Cloud, all of whom hailed from Connecticut.
However, after two years of touring and promotion, along with two unsuccessful albums and a few less successful singles, Sturken and Rogers disbanded the group to resume writing and producing full-time.
The album entered the Billboard charts at number 1 and went double platinum after only three weeks, eventually totaling sales in excess of 11 million worldwide.
The album contains two Sturken & Rogers penned songs, including "Can’t Let You Go", co-written with Koz and featuring Luther Vandross on vocals, which went on to become a number 1 hit on the Smooth Jazz chart.
The duo also had songs on the multi-platinum debut albums of Jessica Simpson, Alsou, Mandy Moore and Anastacia, as well as many other collaborations with such artists as Christina Milian and Emma Bunton.
[8] The SRP artist roster continued to grow during this time; next up was Shontelle, who they brought to Steve Rifkind’s SRC/Universal Motown label, where they produced her debut album Shontelligence in 2008.
Sturken and Rogers continued writing and producing for artists outside of their own stable with their song "Issues", they scored yet another top smash with British girl group The Saturdays.
They also co-wrote the song "Gypsy" for Shakira, which was an international hit and won a Latin BMI award, as well as Shontelle’s follow up album included the worldwide platinum smash "Impossible".
Most recently SRP paired two young writers, Jackson Foote and Emma Lov, to form the writing/production team Loote, landing cuts for Natalie La Rose.
