Music career

He was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. Deezle has garnered many industry accolades for his creative works—including co-producing Lil Wayne's hit single "Lollipop", which led to a Grammy win alongside Jim Jonsin. [2] From this, Deezle's credits, music contributions, and numerous artistic collaborations expanded significantly. This included co-authoring Drake's hit "In My Feelings," engineering Chris Brown's singles' "Gimme That" and "Graffiti," producing Lil Wayne's hit album and 3rd installation to his "Tha Carter" series "Tha Carter III," as well as sharing a co-producing credit with Kanye West on "Let the Beat Build." Ever since his start as a producer, engineer and artist in the music industry, he has sold over seventy-five million records. In addition to records, Deezle has also made musical contributions alongside Donald Harrison to movie scores such as Right to Return and Rachel Getting Married by Academy Award–winning filmmaker Jonathan Demme.

In 2011, Deezle filed a lawsuit against Young money and Cash money records claiming he is owed millions. [3] [2] [4]
