He was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. Deezle has garnered many industry accolades for his creative works—including co-producing Lil Wayne's hit single "Lollipop", which lead to a grammy win alongside Jim Jonsin.[2] From this, Deezle's credits, music contributions, and numerous artistic collaborations expanded significantly. This included co-authoring Drake's hit "In My Feelings," engineering Chris Brown's single "Gimme That" & "Graffiti," producing Lil Wayne's hit album "Tha Carter III," as well as sharing a co-producing credit with Kanye West on "Let the Beat Build." Ever since his start as a producer, engineer and artist in the music industry, he has sold over seventy-five million records. In addition to records, Deezle has also made musical contributions alongside Donald Harrison to movie scores such as: Right to Return and Rachel Getting Married by Academy Award–winning filmmaker, Jonathan Demme.
