About me:

Linda Lou McCall is a songwriter and music industry consultant specializing in entertainment marketing, street promotion, and creative development. She has notably worked with many artists over three decades, from veterans like The Delfonics and Con Funk Shun to contemporary superstars like MC Hammer and Eminem. While with Con Funk Shun, she designed album covers, created album concepts, served as the production assistant on just about all of their LPs for Mercury Records, did art direction and wrote liner notes. She went on to be the only female executive for rap megastar MC Hammer from 1990 to 1992.

In 1992, Linda Lou formed her own company, The Entertainment Qartel, Inc, (EQartel), specializing in music business administration and entertainment marketing and promotions. She relocated from Los Angeles to Atlanta in 1994 and quickly built up a solid client base with artists like OutKast, Goodie Mob, Notorious B.I.G., Puff Daddy, T.L.C., Jay-Z, Will Smith, Three-6 Mafia, Tupac, Mariah Carey, Faith Evans, 112, and Gerald Levert. As a member of the first Interscope Records Street Team, her Atlanta-based Rhyme Scene Unit Street Marketing Task Force was instrumental in the success of the debut albums of Eminem, Mya, Black Eyed Peas, and the platinum-selling "Bulworth" soundtrack.

Linda Lou was the wife of Con Funk Shun co-founder/drummer, Louis A. McCall, and the mother of their two children. Louis was killed in a robbery in 1997. Linda Lou spent the next decade fighting to keep Louis' case from going cold, even persuading the Governor of Georgia to reopen the case in 2003. Her hard work finally paid off - on January 18, 2007, a Dekalb County, GA grand jury indicted New Jersey resident, Marques Clair, now 29, with felony murder. According to prosecutor John Melvin, the case will finally go to trial on July 21, 2008. "We look forward to final justice, one way or the other" states Linda Lou. "This has been a hard long wait for both our family and the suspect's family. No one really wins in a situation like this."

Linda Lou is also a published songwriter ("California 1", "Bad Lady", "Promise You Love", "Honey Wild") and owner of Exxtra Foxx Music (BMI), a music publishing company. Most recently, "Honey Wild" was sampled by rapper Lil Wayne for his song "Kush" ("How You Like Me Now") on digital download-only EP "The Leak" and the highly anticipated "Tha Carter III"- Deluxe Edition w/Bonus Tracks" album released on June 10, 2008. She also volunteers as a consumer protection activist, assisting people all over the world in recovering monies lost to telemarketing and internet scammers. She was also featured in People magazine's "Most Beautiful People of 2007" as one of Dove Pro Age's "50 Most Beautiful Women Over 50" (May 7, 2007). Linda Lou recently started a new venture with Stockton producer, Ruben Harper and her son, Louis A. McCall II The company, harperMcCALL OmniMEDIA Group, is a full-service music business company providing artist management, production, publishing, entertainment marketing, and music industry consulting.
