Azor wrote and performed in Salt-N-Pepa's music video for "Push It", on keyboards and backup vocals, and also wrote the trio's song "Let's Talk About Sex", among others. In 1995, he co-wrote and produced Snow's single "Anything for You", which became the top-selling single in Jamaica that year.^[3]
