Wyldfyer is the definition of avant-garde. The music producer known for pushing boundaries and coloring outside of the lines first got his start by working with one of the greatest of all time, JayZ…even if JayZ didn’t know it. Wyldfyer started making a name for himself while still honing his production skills. The result was his promo album (from Jay-Z), The Black Album: Classik. After receiving rave reviews and street buzz from Atlanta to Philadelphia (his home town), Wyldfyer's album became legendary. The Black Album: Classik caught the ear of then So So Def producer, Saint Nick who became a mentor, resulting in Wyldfyer working on "Time and Time Again", a song that appears on Missy Elliott's The Cookbook.

Along the way, Wyldfyer was introduced to DJ L.E.S., Nas’s long time DJ and friend. Initially, Wyldfyer helped build L.E.S’s personal website but over time, DJ L.E.S became a second mentor for Wyldfyer who would go on to produce “Death Anniversary”, tracks for Nas's "Hip Hop Is Dead", including "Money Over Bullshit", The original version of "Hope" and the highly anticipated collaboration between Nas and Jay-Z, "Black Republican".

After producing the much talked about Nas hit "War is Necessary" which appears in the best-selling video game, Grand Theft Auto IV, Wyldfyer recreated himself and collaborated with Down South Legend, Ludacris. "Last of a Dying Breed" (Previewed during the 2008 BET Hip Hop Awards), which features Lil Wayne and "I do it for Hip Hop" which features the familiar duo of Nas and Jay-Z were the result. Two distinctively different sounds crafted by the same producer, Wyldfyer.

Wyldfyer's music can be heard on albums with almost every member of Black Hippy, TDE's super group made up of Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, Jay Rock, and Ab-Soul. His sound is very diverse with song's like Jay Rock's "Trapped in the Hood", Kendrick's west coast classic "Average Joe" off Overly Dedicated or the ultra-soulful "Kush and Corinthians", a song that appears on Kendrick's critically acclaimed debut album Section.80 album. Wyldfyer has been featured in XXL for his work with Ludacris, Nas and Jay-Z as well as countless websites such as illroots, RapGenius, iStandardProducers, Nodfactor, Hiphopgame and many more. Currently, Wyldfyer is in the studio with both up and coming artists such as Blakk Soul, Dreamville record’s Lute, and well-established artists like Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, and TDE’s president Punch. He is also involved in projects that span beyond traditional urban music, including; rock, pop, alternative, and gospel.
