How Montreal Beatmaker Freakey! Became A Producer For Artists Across The World

The Montreal artist talks about his journey from his tight-knit Haitian family upbringing in the St-Léonard neighbourhood to producing for artists from charting U.S. rapper Don Toliver to heavyweights from Belgium and France.

Hailing from the St-Léonard and Repentigny areas, the producer has been quietly building an impressive career in the shadows. He’s crafted beats for global heavyweights like U.S. star Don Toliver (on his gold album Heaven or Hell), Belgium’s Hamza and French rapper La Fève – artists on the upper echelons of international hip-hop scenes. He’s also a regular collaborator for Canadian artists making waves including Toronto’s KILLY and Quebec’s Lost.
