Perspective
Neenyo was born and raised in the Toronto suburb of Mississauga. His uncle is Howard Huges, a Canadian Hip-Hop producer. Neenyo began "DJ-ing" at home during his adolescent years when mixtapes were becoming popular. He then ventured into electronic infused R&B music.
Neenyo and PartyNextDoor grew up in the same neighborhood in Mississauga, Ontario, and they would later share their ideas and thoughts about music. Producing for Lloyd Banks' "Gang Green Season" and Dipset's "I’m Reloaded" in his early career helped him enter the American market. He later produced for Drake on his Comeback Season (mixtape) and made beats for many more, including Fabolous, Grafh, Red Café and Jadakiss. In 2009 Jadakiss's The Last Kiss album which he produced ranked #1 on Billboard's Top Rap Albums Chart.[2] Since then he has worked with Akon, The Lox, Bobby Valentino, Collie Buddz and others. In 2015, Neenyo produced another song titled “Plastic Bag” for Drake and Future's platinum-selling What a Time to Be Alive project.[3]
Neenyo works together with PARTYNEXTDOOR and collaborated with two studio albums: PartyNextDoor Two and PartyNextDoor 3.[4] In P2 he produced two songs titled "Sex on the Beach" and "Grown Woman". On the other album his produced tracks are "You've Been Missed", "Transparency" and "Don't Know How". Both albums were released under the label of OVO Sound. He has also produced mixes for an installment of HYPETRAK’s ongoing mix series,[5] i-D magazine and London based RinseFM 106.8 [6][7]
In March 2016, Neenyo collaborated with Canadian fashion designer Mikhael Kale, creating and producing the runway show for his fall-winter collection in Toronto Fashion Week.[8][9]
