Growing up in Atlanta, Georgia through his high-school years, Hogan showed an early interest in music production, and formally entered the music industry at the behest of childhood friend Mike Will Made It, who had himself begun writing and producing for local artists.[3][4] His first professional music placements included Lil Wayne's hit single "Love Me" featuring Future/Drake, and Future's "Truth Gonna Hurt You". Hogan has continued to work with other acts, including Nicki Minaj, Chloe x Halle, Rae Sremmurd, Lecrae, and Ty Dolla Sign among many others, and is currently an in-house producer with Mike Will Made It's EarDrummers recording label.[5][6]
