DJ Mustard is a multi-platinum and Grammy-winning artist, producer, and DJ, recognized for shaping the urban soundscape with chart-topping productions for major artists and expanding his influence as a music executive and brand partner. After producing Tyga’s breakthrough single ‘Rack City’ in late 2011, which climbed to number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and achieved 2x platinum certification from the RIAA, Mustard solidified his position as a prominent force in music production. He began his career by crafting hits for fellow California-based artists including YG and Ty Dolla Sign, leading to collaborations with major names like 2 Chainz, Jeezy, and Kid Ink. In 2013, Mustard released his debut mixtape, ‘Ketchup,’ and subsequently signed with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation as an artist, signaling his expansion beyond production.
That same year, his rising influence was recognized by HipHopDX, which named him runner-up for Producer of the Year. Mustard continued to diversify his career, establishing his imprint, 10 Summers Records. Through this label, he discovered and signed Ella Mai, executive-producing her 2018 self-titled platinum album, ‘Ella Mai,’ which featured the groundbreaking 5x platinum single ‘Boo’d Up.’ As an artist, Mustards third studio album, ‘Perfect Ten,’ earned RIAA Certified Gold status in 2019. He showcased his artistry with a performance of his 3x platinum hit ‘Pure Water’ at the 2019 BET Awards, and his 2x platinum single ‘Ballin” featuring Roddy Ricch on Jimmy Fallon, which also garnered a Grammy nomination for ‘Best Rap Song Performance’ in 2019.
He is set to expand into new creative ventures, including voicing the character ‘Marcel’ in the animated film ‘Sneaks,’ slated for release in 2025. Adding to his extensive touring portfolio, Mustard will join Kendrick Lamar and SZA as an opening act for their highly anticipated Grand National Tour in 2025, reaching major venues across the country.
