A lifelong musician who taught himself to play piano as a child and started producing his own music at age 12, Profitt has earned accolades and acclaim for his genre-warping production work with platinum-selling artists like Migos, Hunter Hayes, and NF-the rapper/singer/songwriter whose Profitt-produced 2017 single “Let You Down” went five-times platinum, hit #1 on Billboard’s US Mainstream Top 40 chart, and surpassed a billion streams worldwide. In addition, his cover of Linkin Park’s “In The End” (featuring Fleurie) has accumulated over 855 million streams, landed on Spotify’s Viral 50 chart in 23 countries, emerged as the #52 most Shazamed song of 2019, and continues to impact TikTok users across the globe by driving 200 million views weekly.
Additionally, Profitt’s unique cinematic releases have not only clocked over one billion global lifetime streams, 500k KZread subscribers, and a monthly listenership of over two million users on Spotify-they have also garnered widespread success in the sync world. His unique sonic fingerprint has landed over 200 sync placements with the NFL, MLB, NHL, ESPN, CBS, FOX, ABC, NBC, HBO, WWE, and Showtime, and in major network shows, films, and video games, with some of his biggest successes including The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Pt. 2, The Girl in the Spider’s Web, The Good Doctor, The Handmaid’s Tale, Assassin’s Creed, UFC2, Madden, and many more.
Profitt is currently in the studio working on new original material, with more details to be revealed soon. In the meantime, keep up with Profitt on his socials linked below.

    Me and Nate thought it'd be fun to show you a little bit of the production process behind one of his songs, which involves layers and layers of instrumentation. Been wanting to do this for a while, might do some other NF songs, including some of my own ... is this something you'd like to see more of? ALSO, just got a new fan number so you can text me personally and get updates! +1 (615)-808-8156 ... I'll definitely be responding to some when I can! Hope to hear from you!

    Well, usually hip hop doesn't. It includes some keys, bells or something like that for the lead and some basic drums and an 808 of course, normally. But Tommee being a cinematic music producer, likes to do those sort of experiments with other genres. And Nate's hip hop is also sort of cinematical/orchestral type. So yeah Skrillex's an electronic music producer. It's a given his projects would have tons of layers.
