Early life

After moving to Los Angeles, Acord joined the metal band A Memoria Brooded playing drums[1] and met Tyler Carter during his time at Atlantic Records. Together, they formed the band Issues.[2]

Influences and musical style

Born into a deeply musical family, his mother a gospel singer and his father a trumpet player and sound engineer, Acord had early introductions to Motown and soul, from classics like Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye to contemporary artists like Jill Scott and India Arie.[3] He fell in love with hip-hop as a teenager, studied jazz in college, and spent three years touring as a DJ in the American metalcore band Issues, alongside his twin brother Skyler Acord, who plays bass guitar, and longtime collaborator and lead vocalist Tyler Carter.

As a solo artist, he prominently produces hip hop, dance, electronic, lo-fi, and contemporary R&B music. Acord has crafted a style heavy on bass and drawing from elements as far-ranging as hip hop, old school funk, and sample-based R&B.

Acord has written and produced for artists such as: GoldLink, H.E.R., Gallant, Ray Blk, Moss Kena, Nick Grant, Freddie Gibbs, Skrillex, and Zedd.[3]

As a producer, he has stated that Billboard, Oliver, whereisalex, Lido, Gravez, Tennyson, and MXXWLL influence his production.[4]
