Kenneth "K-Fam" Fambro is an American songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist best known for producing and co-writing for Boyz II Men, Destiny's Child, and Robyn, among others.[1][2] Fambro, a pianist and drummer by ear, was an early protégé of Antonio "L.A." Reid, who brought him to LaFace Records / Arista Records where he worked alongside production outfit Organized Noize. This opportunity resulted in placements on Boyz II Men's Full Circle, Sam Salter single "Once My Sh..", "Now That She's Gone" from Destiny's Child album The Writing's on the Wall, and single "Ya Di Ya" from Gina Thompson and rapper Missy Elliott, as well as contributions on various 112 projects.[3][4][5] Fambro recently contributed to country/trap artist Blanco Brown's 2019 debut album Honeysuckle & Lightning Bugs.[6][7][8]
