簡要介紹
原名Kasseem Dean的Swizz Beatz1978年9月1日出生於紐約城布朗克斯區,之後搬到了亞特蘭大,並在這裡開始學習做DJ。著名說唱廠牌Ruff Ryder看中了Swizz Beatz的說唱潛力,邀請他加入了Ruff Ryder的明星大團體,並成為了這一團體的主要製作人。
在自己努力以及其他團員的幫助下,他慢慢積累了一定了實力,並於2002年發行了首張個人專輯Swizz Beatz Present G.H.E.T.T.O Stories.這張唱片的很大一個賣點就是Swizz Beatz一人包辦了這張專輯大部分的歌曲的製作,才華表露無疑。專輯名字以Ghetto為主,其中大部分內容便以貧民區的生活為主題.不僅Ruff Ryder唱片旗下的歌手,而且一些大牌饒舌歌手諸如:Nas,Busta Rhymes等都和Swizz Beatz合唱了其中的歌曲。推薦專輯中的一些歌曲:Ghetto Love,Island Spice以及Big Business。
由於他的嬸嬸Chivon Dean,和兩個叔叔Dee Dean和Waah Dean都是Ruff Ryders唱片公司的創始人,他從小就和音樂結緣,16歲就開始學著製作音樂。20歲時他第一次賣出自己伴奏,而這首歌就是DMX的名曲“Ruff Ryders Anthem”。接著他開始與Ruff Ryders, Roc-A-Fella, Electra, Epic, Def Jam和Bad Boy等唱片公司合作,開始了其職業生涯。2002年他以自己的名義發行了一張由他製作伴奏,其他藝人演唱的專輯《Presents G.H.E.T.T.O. Stories》,憑藉其獨特的製作風格和有趣的概念獲得一定的人氣。
隨後Swizz Beatz創立了自己的唱片公司Full Surface,並捧出了像Cassidy這樣的說唱歌手,目前公司正在為Cassidy, Jay-Z, 2 Much, 50 Cent, Drag-On, Papoose, Busta Rhymes, Whitney Houston, Eve, T.I., Lil Wayne, Bow Wow, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Lil Jon和Ludacris等藝人的專輯進行創作。而Swizz Beatz也正在和好朋友DMX一同合作專輯。
2004年,Swizz Beatz與R&B女歌手Mashonda喜結連理,2007年他們的兒子Kasseem Jr出生,不過2009年4月,這對已經經歷了4年婚姻生活的夫妻決定離婚,甚至有訊息稱是R&B天后Alicia Keys插足成為第三者,但Swizz Beatz卻稱這種說法與事實完全不符。2009年5月,Swizz Beatz卻轉口承認自己和Alicia Keys有染。業餘時間Swizz Beatz熱愛作畫,他還將變賣自己所作的畫而賺來的錢捐獻給兒童癌症血液基金會。
2007年2月,Swizz Beatz為Heatherette的紐約時裝周展會創作音樂。2007年8月,Swizz Betaz的第一張由他自己演唱的專輯《One Man Band Man》發行。2009年4月,Swizz Beat為軒尼詩酒製作了宣傳歌曲“When I Step In The Club”,歌曲的MV由著名嘻哈導演Hype Williams指導。而2009年Swizz Beatz在音樂方面絲毫也不怠慢,相繼為Ludacris製作了“Nasty Girl”,為Jadakiss製作了“Who's Real”,為Maino製作了“Million Bucks”,為Whitney Houston製作了“Million Dollar Bill”,為Chris Brown製作了“I Can Transform Ya”,為Jay-Z製作了“On to the Next One”等。
