Early life

[edit]

Isaac was born in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. As a child, he relocated to Fort Lauderdale, Florida after his father found a better job there. In his youth, Isaac was a worship leader in church.[4]

Career

[edit]

Isaac began his career in earnest after moving to Daytona Beach, Florida. He was invited by a friend to do some sessions with Flo Rida and would continue to work with him thereafter. That work eventually led Isaac to his first placement, "Good Feeling."[4] That song, which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100,[5] would later be released on Flo Rida's 2012 album, Wild Ones. Isaac co-wrote 4 songs on that album, including "Good Feeling" and "Whistle"[4] the latter of which went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[5]

The following year, he co-wrote "Timber" by Pitbull featuring Kesha. That song would also top the Hot 100 chart and go multi-platinum in several countries.[6][7] In 2015, he co-wrote Charlie Puth's "One Call Away" for which he would go on to win a BMI Pop Award (his fifth in as many years).[1]

In 2016 and 2017, he worked on a variety of movie soundtrack songs, including Lecrae's "River of Jordan" from The Shack, Nick Jonas and Nicki Minaj's "Bom Bidi Bom" from Fifty Shades Darker,[4] and Lil Uzi Vert, Quavo, and Travis Scott's "Go Off" from The Fate of the Furious.[6] In 2017, he worked on Damian Marley's "Medication," the lead single off of his album, Stony Hill. The album would go on to win the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album in 2018.[8][9]
