A scripted hour melodrama about the New York music scene from the 90’s is being created by Electus and Kenny Edmonds a.k.a Babyface.
The show will be based on the lives of the award-winning songwriter and producer, Damon Sharpe, and actress and former recording artist, Stacy Ascenio Sutphen.
The show tells the story of the duo, how they met, and how their lives grew together. An aspiring singer turns the lack of support from her family, into the fuel she needs to trailblaze through the music industry at a time when the digital era was starting to thrive. She meets the icon and the rest is history.

Electus CEO and President had this to say in a statement:
“We are beyond thrilled to partner with the legendary Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds whose music has shaped and defined so much of the industry – there’s really no one who hasn’t been touched by his music and its influence over the last 30 years… Damon and Stacy, creative forces in their own right, also have a rich and storied history that epitomizes the 1990s music scene, a time of great change and evolution in entertainment that has yet to be fully explored on television. We know this creative trifecta will offer the ultimate 90s throwback through a unique and fresh lens.”
