Conflict of interest tag

I have added the conflict of interest tag to this article because it was a paid-editing job developed directly through the article's subject. See the bid on elance.com which states the following

I am a composer & musician in Los Angeles, California. I need a wikipedia profile similar to something like this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Foster). I can provide the basic text and credits. Looking to have the wikipedia page organized, edited, referenced and put into the proper format for wikipedia.
Please let me know what the approximate cost would be and what time frame the job could be completed in.
Thank you, Mark Portmann

Recent edits

The recent additions that were inserted in between sourced parts are copied with slight changes from promotional website http://www.music180.com/pros/180 and not sourced by reliable sources. Because of the problems of sourcing, close paraphrasing and tone I reverted to an earlier version. I also removed the weird Spanish-to-English Google translation link to his discography on billboard.com, which is a duplicate of the allmusic service that is linked already.
