Biography
Hurby "Luv Bug" Azor, also known as Fingerprints, (born September 26, 1964) is a Haitian hip-hop music producer, best known for discovering the successful female hip-hop trio Salt-n-Pepa and the also successful hip-hop duo Kid 'n Play.
Early life
Azor was born on July 7, 1965, in Port-de-Paix, Nord-Ouest, Haiti.
Career
In the mid-1980s, with the fad of hip-hop response records all the rage, Azor and the group Salt-n-Pepa (then known as Super Nature) recorded a response to Doug E. Fresh & The Get Fresh Crew's "The Show" called "The Show Stoppa." Though not as popular as most response records, Get Fresh Crew emcee Slick Rick did note years later, after he and the women later became friends, that the record annoyed him. Azor would also go on to produce Dana Dane, Sweet Tee, Kwamé, and others.
Azor wrote and performed in Salt-N-Pepa's music video for "Push It", on keyboards and back vocals, and also wrote the duo's song "Let's Talk About Sex."
He also dated Salt (Cheryl James) from 1984 to 1989.
In 1995, Azor co-wrote and produced Snow's single "Anything for You", which became the top-selling single in Jamaica that year.
