Beginnings

Sanicola's first opportunity came in 2000. At 18 years old, he wrote lyrics for Jennifer Lopez. Although they were not used on her album, he was able to capture the attention of producer Ric Wake, who gave Sanicola a publishing and production deal for the next six years, from whom Sanicola says he learned a great deal.
