A conservatory-trained pianist, he began production work under the wing of mentor Dr. Dre. He was named one of XXL's hip-hop producers of the year in 2020, 2021, and 2022, named one of Variety's Hitmakers for 2021 and 2022, and Genius named him the top producer of the year in 2022.

## Early life and education

Chahayed was born and raised in the West Hills suburb of Los Angeles in a musical family. His parents are both immigrants to the United States: his father was born in Syria and his mother is from Buenos Aires. His sisters Andrea and Juliana Chahayed are both musicians with whom he continues to collaborate. He began playing the piano at seven years old.
Chahayed is classically trained, having attended the San Francisco Conservatory of Music on a scholarship, studying under professor Yoshikazu Nagai. He graduated in 2010 with a degree in piano performance. He studied jazz in Los Angeles with pianists Adam Benjamin and Gary Fukushima. He initially became interested in hip hop production during college.

## Career

Chahayed began his career in 2010 in Los Angeles working as a music director, composer, session musician, and piano teacher. As a pianist, he played at venues across Los Angeles and collaborated with guitarist Wesley Singerman on the jazz collective Los Angeles Illharmonic. During this period he worked with artists including Ron Aniello, Mocky, Jeffrey Steele, Matt Corby, Rita Wilson, and Kurupt.
In 2013, he connected with rapper Stat Quo who introduced him to his fellow Aftermath Entertainment affiliate producer Mel-Man, who became a mentor for Chahayed; through this connection, he began playing keyboards and producing for Dr. Dre. He also worked with artists including Matthew Koma, Kendrick Lamar, Taz Arnold, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, and Wanting Qu.
In 2016, he had his breakout with the release of DRAM's "Broccoli" which he co-produced. The song was nominated for a Grammy Award and is a 7× Platinum record. Chahayed has worked with Travis Scott, DRAM, Hit Boy, Miguel, Solange Knowles, Halsey, Lil Yachty, CL, Bruno Mars, ScHoolboy Q, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Jason Derulo, A$AP Rocky, A$AP Ferg, Big Krit, Juan Gabriel, Doja Cat, J Balvin, Jon Connor, Calvin Harris, Moses Sumney, Travis Mills, Kendrick Lamar and Dr. Dre.
