Tricky Stewart Working On "The Lorax"

Christopher "Tricky" Stewart will be the executive music producer for the upcoming film Dr. Suess' The Lorax. The film is the big screen adaptation of the beloved Dr. Suess children's story. Stewart was also recently named A&R at Epic Records.

Stewart has served as executive music consultant on the Christina Aguilera-starring Burlesque.

“I'm a big kid and I have a 15-month-old daughter so I'm constantly listening to sounds at home and watching what intrigues a child mentally or visually,” he told the Hollywood Reporter. “And I love Dr. Seuss. That hat had mad swag.”
