Famous Montessori Alumni: P Diddy
As a world renowned record producer and rapper P. Diddy is our fourth famous Montessori Alumni. After being brought up to exploit his creativity and strengths in his Harlam Montessori school, Combs went on to study at Howard University in Washington D.C. He landed an internship at Uptown Records and found that he was going to have to choose between finishing his education or following his dreams and instincts by moving to New York. In Combs’s case, his choice to pursue his career over his education paid off. Quickly rising through the ranks Combs became a top executive at Uptown Records. In 1993 he founded Bad Boy Records which signed acts that rapidly became superstars including Notorious B.I.G., Craig Mack, Faith Evans, Usher, 112, Boyz II Men, SVW, Mariah Carey, Lil Kim, TLC, to name a few. It was not until 1997 that Combs released his first album as a rapper under the name of Puff Daddy. His album soared to the top of the Billboards and a new Sean Combs was born. His success as a record producer and a rapper was not enough for this entrepreneurial Montessori Alumni. In 1998, Combs started his men’s clothing line, Sean John, which received the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s Award for Menswear Designer of the Year in 2004 (and was nominated in 2000). Since the turn of the millennium Combs has made some other rather large changes in his career. First and foremost he chose to change his name from Puff Daddy to P. Diddy. He has also dabbling in acting, opened the restaurant chain Justin’s, developed the premium vodka mark Ciroc and became the producer of MTV’s Making the Band. Today P. Diddy is thinking to open a business school in New York! Can’t nobody hold down this famous Montessori Alumni.
