Born on October 8,in Harlem, Teddy Riley became something of a musical prodigy and star as an early teen in school. His mother provided the impetus to bring him out of the bad ways he developed and into aspirations in music at an early age He had been "hustlin'" to make money when his mother was laid off, but she soon called him on his behavior.

That's when I cashed in my money and bought me about three or four keyboards. At age ten Riley had already mastered several instruments--guitar, bass, several horns, and especially the keyboard. He gained his edge listening and playing with friends at impromptu pick-up concerts on Harlem streets and in church, according to the Village Voice.

That stayed in my head, and at the same time, my mother was sayin' 'Let's go to church. All those different keyboard players--uh, preachers. There was one in particular, a Rev. Caulfield, who was a genius on the organ. That's really where I learned everything about playing keyboards. That album hit Number One on Billboard's top rhythm-and-blues albums chart in while the group traveled on sold-out tours.

Guy's second album, 's The Future, went platinum and won rave reviews.
