Musical career

DJ Dahi got his start in music working as a disc jockey while he was attending the University of California, Santa Cruz. He graduated with a degree in Film and American studies.[7] He began getting a buzz producing for local Los Angeles-based rappers such as Pac Div, TiRon, and Fashawn. His first big placement would be "My Type of Party," a single by Dom Kennedy's from his mixtape, The Yellow Album (2012). "My Type of Party" featured "laid cloudy layers of synth haze over wonky, synthetic drums." In 2012, he also produced ScHoolboy Q's "Sexting," and then his most known production, "Money Trees" from Kendrick Lamar's platinum album Good Kid, M.A.A.D City.[8] In 2013, he produced "Hell of a Night" by Schoolboy Q[9] and "Worst Behavior" by Drake that charted at number 89 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[10][11] "Money Trees", which samples "Silver Soul" by indie rock band Beach House, was named the ninth best instrumental of the previous five years, by Complex on September 3, 2013.[12] Also later in September 2013, Complex named him the ninth best hip hop producer at the moment.[8] Recently he has had recording sessions with Lecrae, Kendrick Lamar, Big K.R.I.T., Jazmine Sullivan and Elle Varner among others.[8][13] In 2015 he co-produced three tracks on 'Compton: A Soundtrack' album by Dr. Dre.

DJ Dahi has a publishing contract with Sony Music Publishing and is a SESAC member.
