Jameil Aossey (born November 3, 1983) is an American songwriter, producer, and audio engineer best known for his work with producer Symbolyc One.[1] Aossey has written and/or produced songs for Little Mix, ZZ Ward, and Jasmine V, as well as Beyoncé's 7th album Renaissance.[2][3]
Early life
[edit]An early lover of music through piano and drumming lessons before the age of 5, Aossey spent much time with his uncle, who was an Ohio-area radio host with a vast catalog of vinyl records. In 2004, after graduating from Southview High School, Aossey enrolled in Ohio's Recording Workshop, becoming a certified audio engineer.[4] He continued working on his craft at New Realm Recording Studios in Toledo, where he had the opportunity to improve his skills in all aspects of the recording process, eventually releasing his debut project The Euphonious Suite in 2010.[5]
Career
[edit]Aossey met producer Larry Griffin Jr. aka Symbolic One at the iStandard Producer Showcase at The ASCAP EXPO, a 2013 ASCAP Convention, as Griffin was a judge in iStandard event Aossey had entered. [6] After receiving feedback from Griffin at the convention, Aossey continued to perfect his submissions through monthly virtual meetings, maintaining correspondence with Griffin after the convention had concluded. Months of collaborative work developed into a mentorship, and Griffin sent Aossey a song to modify, which would become "Walk Away" from Jasmine V's 2014 debut EP That's Me Right There (EP), and Aossey's first placement. Aossey then received an offer to join Griffin's S.K.P production management company as a creative collaborator.[6] Several years later, Beyoncé's team contacted Aossey and Griffin directly to modify several already-existing productions for inclusion on an upcoming project, and 2 of their contributions made her universally-acclaimed 7th album Renaissance: "I'm That Girl", and "All Up In Your Mind".[7]
