Justin Bieber “Heartbreaker,” topped the iTunes charts at #1 in 63 countries, and peaking at #13 on US Hot 100 chart becoming Chef’s fastest rising release. The album Journals was officially released on December 23, 2013 by Island Records. It was available as a digital exclusive through online platforms such as iTunes.[1][2] Prior to its official release, one new song was released every Monday night from October 7, 2013 to December 9, 2013, as part of a ten-week digital download campaign called Music Mondays.

In 2007, Chef linked with an entertainment manager and moved to Atlanta, Georgia. Within a year of relocating, Chef was taken on at Atlantic Records. As a songwriter, Chef Tone’s first placement was with the Atlantic Records artist Plies for “Please Excuse My Hands,” featuring Jamie Foxx. This placement led to Chef’s long-term deal with Atlantic Records. Lyor Cohen, North American Chairman and CEO of Warner Music Group, specifically constructed the deal to mimic the success of the Motown-era with Chef Tone at the helm. Chef Tone’s manager at the time submitted several songs to Craig Kallman, Chairman and CEO of Atlantic Records, who then passed them on to Mike Caren, Executive Vice President of A&R for Atlantic Records. Caren immediately sent Chef Tone to LA for a meeting, offered him a deal, and matched him with R&B recording artist Trey Songz. This match yielded the first #1 record for Trey Songz with “Invented Sex” on the Platinum-Certified (RIAA) Ready album, which debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 and peaked at #2 on the Top R&B/Hip Hop albums chart. Chef Tone also penned the singles “Bottoms Up,” “Love Faces,” “Say Aah,” “Yo Side of the Bed,” and “LOL :-),” which he wrote and produced, along with several more album tracks.
