Born in Landstuhl, Germany and raised in Suitland, Maryland, he started a go-go band with neighborhood friends at 13 and was working in local studios as a producer and rapper by 1998. A session at Timbaland's Virginia Beach Recording Arts led to Keri Hilson's "Everything, Everyday, Everywhere" — a Billboard number one in 2009.
Since then he has produced and engineered for XXXTENTACION, Ski Mask the Slump God, Twista and Ann Marie, and toured as an engineer with Lady Gaga, Chris Brown, Meek Mill, 2 Chainz, Travis Scott, A$AP Ferg and Wale. He recorded dozens of songs with XXXTENTACION on The Revenge tour, produced the Members Only album, and produced "Find Me".
