Early life

Bkorn has been playing and writing music since he was 11 years old. As an avid rock and metal music fan, he began play the drums in 5th grade for band class, then self-taught himself how to play both guitar and bass. From 6th grade to 11th grade, Bkorn played lead guitar in a band named "Counterview."[3] In 2009, Bkorn started to produce primarily hip hop and R&B music using the Apple software application GarageBand typically producing Electronic dance music and cover versions of other songs. From there, he became more serious about a career in music production. In 2011, Bkorn graduated from University of Hartford with an Associate degree in Contemporary Arts, and in 2014 he graduated from Ramapo College with a Bachelor's degree in Music Production.[4]

Music career

Career beginnings

Bkorn continued producing throughout his college career, using Logic Pro to make beats. In 2012, Bkorn interned at Puff Daddy's studio, Daddy's House Recording Studio. During his time as an intern, he met record producer Lee On the Beats. Lee took an interest in Bkorn's music and they immediately developed a working relationship. In 2013, Bkorn landed his first placement on DJ Khaled's 7th studio album Suffering from Success. The song was "I'm Still" and was co-produced by Lee On the Beats. He then joined Lee and RocDaProducer to form the production team, The Amazinz. [5]

Since then, Bkorn has co-produced DJ Khaled's 2014 RIAA Gold certified Hold You Down[6] and the 2015 single "How Many Times" alongside Lee; as well as late rapper Chinx's first album single "On Your Body". In August 2015, Bkorn signed a publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing.
