Jerkins talks working on Mariah Carey's new album
|  | | Rodney Jerkins and Joy Enriquez | | This week, The Source Magazine sat down with super producer Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins and his wife actress/singer Joy Enriquez at the NUVOtv Upfront at Edison Ballroom in New York City. The couple were promoting their new reality show on the network "Rodney's Joy", which focuses on their family, Rodney's work as a songwriter/producer and Joy's return to the music scene after a hiatus.
What upcoming projects can you share? Are you working with Britney Spears? Mariah Carey?
I was working with Britney actually at the end of the year. She had me come on X-Factor show and do something with her, so we'll see what happens if we get a chance to work together. I am working with Mariah, I am working with Jennifer Lopez. I just finished a couple songs with Jessie J over in London and I also wrote a couple of songs that are being considered for Rihanna's new album, so there's a lot of good stuff happening so we'll see. I'm always busy, but it's all good, never too busy for my baby.
Can you speak about working with Mariah Carey in the studio on her upcoming album?
Yeah, Mariah's great. We had a chance to write together and it was really cool. She's a pro, she's a real pro and relatable, too. She has two children, two beautiful kids and we got a chance to really get to know her and Nick and the kids doing this project and they just bring that class act family and you know it's good to have friends like that.
