Grammy award-winning producer and R&B artist Mario Winans, best known for his work with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Bad Boy Records, has announced the launch of Artime, an online music mentoring platform.
The new platform gives independent artists, students and aspiring creatives the opportunity to book online mentoring sessions with multi-platinum, award winning producers, songwriters, music directors and engineers.
Winans, who is Founder & CEO of the Artime platform, has spent the last three decades crafting hits for some of Pop, Hip-Hop, R&B and Gospel music’s most well respected artists.

Diddy, and of course, his own Winans family.
