Early life and career

Parker was born and raised in Fayetteville, Georgia.

He attended Georgia State University from 2012 to 2014 and studied music and graphic arts. While in school he began creating remixes of popular songs and producing beats using FL Studio. In 2015, Parker dropped out to focus on his music professionally. He joined OG Maco's collective OGG, where he adapted his moniker. [3]

Parker has produced for artists including Chris Brown, Migos, [4] Katy Perry, [5] DJ Carnage, and Lil Yachty, among others. [3] In 2016, he produced seven tracks on YFN Lucci's critically acclaimed project Wish Me Well 2. [6]

In 2020, Parker was enlisted by Red Bull to host their syndicated show The Cut USA, a show pairing 9 singer-songwriters and 9 music producers to create new tracks in Red Bull Studios. [7]

In 2021, Parker launched NEUTRAL RECORDS, a record label, management group and publishing company. His signees include R&B singer Imani, along with producers Beezo, XY, and Kilo Keys. [8] The same year, Parker and YouTuber DDG released the collaborative album DIE 4 RESPECT, where Parker produced all tracks and enlisted guest appearances from Coi Leray, Lil Yachty, and YoungBoy Never Broke Again. [9]

In 2022, Parker was awarded a Grammy Award for Album of the Year for his production work on Jazmine Sullivan's song "On It" from her album Heaux Tales (2021). [10] Parker has also garnered 6 other nominations throughout his career.[ citation needed ]
