Career

Canady initially gained interest in record production as a teenager after wanting to rap on his own instrumentals.[5] In 2017, he recalls working as an audio engineer in a studio and being frustrated by artists' attitudes toward engineers.[1] In January 2023, he was voted as the Producer of the Year for the XXL Awards 2023.[8]
