In the early 1990s, Bishop was mentored by notable musician-turned label executive Antonio "LA Reid" Reid, who signed him to a production deal under his Atlanta-based label LaFace Records.^[2] As one half of production duo Tim & Ted (with fellow musician Tim Thomas), one of his first commissioned projects was Toni Braxton's 1993 multi-platinum eponymous debut album, on which he contributed album cut "Love Affair", and played keyboard on key hit "Another Sad Love Song".^[1] Bishop also co-produced and co-wrote debut single "Call Me a Mack" alongside new LaFace signee Usher for the 1993 Poetic Justice Soundtrack. These appearances resulted in requests to work with many other artists under the Sony Music Entertainment umbrella and in the greater Atlanta area, including 4 contributions to gospel act Dawkins & Dawkins' 1994 second album Necessary Measures, "Sexy Day" for LaFace signees A Few Good Men, and vocal arrangements for Bobby Brown & Whitney Houston duet "Something In Common". Bishop later became a mentor for songwriter-producer Bryan-Michael Cox, who had moved to Atlanta as a young songwriter for music industry experience.^[3][4]
