Early life

An early lover of music through piano and drumming lessons before the age of 5, Aossey spent much time with his uncle, who was an Ohio-area radio host with a vast catalog of vinyl records. He graduated from Southview High School in 2002, and in 2004, Aossey enrolled in Ohio's Recording Workshop, becoming a certified audio engineer. [4] He continued working on his craft at New Realm Recording Studios in Toledo, where he had the opportunity to improve his skills in all aspects of the recording process, eventually releasing his debut project The Euphonious Suite in 2010. [5]

Career

Aossey met producer Larry Griffin Jr. (aka Symbolyc One) at the iStandard Producer Showcase during ASCAP EXPO, a 2013 ASCAP Convention in Los Angeles, as Griffin was a judge in and iStandard event Aossey had entered. [6] After receiving feedback from Griffin at the convention, Aossey continued to perfect his submissions through monthly virtual meetings, consistently sending new material, and maintaining correspondence with Griffin after the convention had concluded. Months of collaborative work developed into a mentorship, and Griffin sent Aossey a song to modify, which would become "Walk Away" from Jasmine V's 2014 debut EP That's Me Right There (EP) , and Aossey's first placement. Aossey then received an offer to join Griffin's S.K.P production management company as a creative collaborator. [6] Several years later, Beyoncé's team contacted Aossey and Griffin directly to modify several already-existing productions for inclusion on an upcoming project, and 2 of their contributions made her universally-acclaimed, Grammy winning 7th album Renaissance : "I'm That Girl", and "All Up In Your Mind". [7] In 2024, Aossey contributed production on Rapsody's "Black Popstar" from the studio album Please Don't Cry and co-produced Eminem's "Head Honcho" from Grammy nominated album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) .
