Early life and career

Anderson Hernandez was born to immigrated parents from the Dominican Republic on September 2, 1989, in Washington Heights, a neighborhood located in the New York City borough of Manhattan, living across the street from adult contemporary musician Alicia Keys.[ citation needed ] Hernandez started producing at age 14. [3] He received his stage name, Vinylz, courtesy of a friend who noticed both of his interests for clever sampling and his father's collection of vinyl records. [5] Vinylz began taking music production seriously and it remained his favorite hobby ever since, but he went against his parents' wishes.[ citation needed ] He got an early professional start working with Swizz Beatz and decided to drop out of college after the first semester of his first year. [6] [ citation needed ]

Setting up shop in Quad Studios, the well-known recording studio located in New York City's Time Square [ citation needed ], Vinylz flourished through his work with up-and-coming or breakout artists like Drag-On and Cassidy. [6] [ citation needed ] After reaching out to Canadian rapper Drake's in-house producer, Boi-1da, via Myspace to retrieve the instrumental for "Best I Ever Had", Vinylz ended up forming a relationship which would remain long after the request. [3] [6] Impressed by his work, Boi-1da became a mentor to the up-and-comer; the two continued on to collaborate from that point on. [3] [6]

In 2013, Jay Z's "F***WithMeYouKnowIGotIt" featuring Rick Ross and DJ Khaled's "No New Friends" featuring Drake, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne, both of which produced by Vinylz and Boi-1da, were respectively placed on the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart; the latter was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). [7] A variety of hits, alongside Boi-1da, helped Vinylz reach a publishing deal with Sony ATV. [4] [8]

Throughout 2015, he produced a high number of tracks for such artists, including Jeremih's "Planez", Big Sean's "Blessings", Meek Mill's "RICO", Lil Durk's "Like Me" and Chris Brown's "Back to Sleep". [9]
