    In this clip, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins reflected on some of the artists he's worked with and talked about his daughter appearing on America's Got Talent when she was five years old. Later on, Darkchild recounted how he first got the chance to work with Janet Jackson and why she was initially apprehensive due to his working relationship with her brother.

He sees the production of a song from the beginning stages all the way to final mix stage as the end product. Hes a Record Producer like Dr. Dre which isn't anything different than what Quincy Jones did that directed and guided the session. Typically Rodney would work out chords and medleys on the piano before he starts making a beat, then he would collaborate with Songwriters and some times session musicians, cut the vocals in the studio with the Artist that would direct and call the shots behind the mixing board that works along a Recording Engineer and some times a Vocal Producer in the control room. There's more than just making a beat if you're gonna call yourself a Producer.

Timbaland and Jimmy Douglas still uses those term when distinguishing the role of a Producer and a Programmer. In Hip Hop its combination of a Programmer and a Record Producer. Today more and more music is becoming programmed now that programmed drums has became a thing in Rock, Metal genres due to technology advances, meaning less session players you have to hire.
