Early life

Young Fyre was born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa. Although his parents were not musicians, they were avid music fans and instilled their passion for music in their son from an early age. Young Fyre originally aspired to be a rapper, and began producing music as a result of being unable to find beats to rap on. His major musical influences are Timbaland, Missy Elliott, and Busta Rhymes.

Music career

Early career

After years of honing his production skills, Young Fyre first gained recognition on RocBattle.com, where he posted a beat battle record of 233-9, becoming Grand Champ and even defeating Rockwilder.[6] His success on RocBattle gained him much recognition in the hip-hop community and eventually led to collaborations with numerous rappers in the Midwestern United States.

First placements

From 2008-2009, Young Fyre produced 17 tracks across Tech N9ne's Killer, Sickology 101 and K.O.D. albums, including the single “Like Yeah”. He also produced 6 tracks on Kutt Calhoun’s Feature Presentation and 3 tracks on Big Scoob’s Monsterifik, as well as 1 track each for Young Buck and Yung Berg.[7]

Discovery/Nappy Boy Entertainment

In 2010, Nappy Boy Entertainment rapper Young Cash (Joey Galaxy) passed Young Fyre’s music to label founder/owner T-Pain, who, upon hearing it, immediately called the producer (in the middle of the night) and offered to fly him to Miami for a meeting.

After signing with Nappy Boy Entertainment, Young Fyre began working with T-Pain and the rest of the Nappy Boy Entertainment roster. He produced the official remix of Travie McCoy's hit song "Billionaire" featuring Bruno Mars. The remix features T-Pain, One Chance & Gucci Mane. He also produced One Chance's "Sexin' On You", Brandon T. Jackson's "Imma Do It Big" featuring T-Pain & One Chance, and Italian electro house DJ/producer Benny Benassi's "Electroman" featuring T-Pain.

In 2011, T-Pain put his newly signed producer at the helm of his latest project, the 2011 album Revolver. Young Fyre produced roughly 90% of the album, including the summer smash hit "Best Love Song" featuring Chris Brown. "Rap Song" featuring Rick Ross and "Booty Wurk (One Cheek At a Time)" featuring Joey Galaxy were also produced by Young Fyre and released as singles.[8]

In 2016, Young Fyre produced "Private Show", a track on Britney Spears' ninth studio album Glory, released in August that year.[9]

Many of his recent songs, including "How to Hate", "Best Love Song" and "King of the Streets", begin with a signature sound - the sound of a match being lit.
