Anderson Hernandez (born September 2, 1989),[2] professionally known as Vinylz, is an American record producer from Washington Heights, New York City.[3] He is certainly known for his work with many artists that include Jay Z, Rick Ross, Drake, J. Cole, Nicki Minaj, Jeremih and Tinashe.[citation needed]

Vinylz secured a publishing deal with Sony ATV through fellow record producer and mentor, Boi-1da, with whom he has also worked closely since.[4]

Early life and career

Anderson Hernandez was born to immigrated parents from the Dominican Republic on September 2, 1989, in Washington Heights, a neighborhood located in the New York City borough of Manhattan, living across the street from adult contemporary musician Alicia Keys.[citation needed] Hernandez started producing at age 14.[3] He received his stage name, Vinylz, courtesy of a friend who noticed both of his interests for clever sampling and his father's collection of vinyl records.[5] Vinylz began taking music production seriously and it remained his favorite hobby ever since, but he went against his parents’ wishes.[citation needed] He got an early professional start working with Swizz Beatz and decided to drop out of college after the first semester of his freshman year.[6][citation needed]

Setting up shop in Quad Studios, the well-known recording studio located in New York City's Time Square[citation needed], Vinylz flourished through his work with up-and-coming or breakout artists like Drag-On and Cassidy.[6][citation needed] After reaching out to Canadian rapper Drake's in-house producer, Boi-1da, via Myspace to retrieve the instrumental for "Best I Ever Had", Vinylz ended up forming a relationship which would remain long after the request.[3][6] Impressed by his work, Boi-1da became a mentor to the up-and-comer; the two continued on to collaborate from that point on.[3][6]

In 2013, Jay Z's "F***WithMeYouKnowIGotIt" featuring Rick Ross and DJ Khaled's "No New Friends" featuring Drake, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne, both of which produced by Vinylz and Boi-1da, were respectively placed on the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart; the latter was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[7] A variety of hits, alongside Boi-1da, helped Vinylz reach a publishing deal with Sony ATV.[4][8]

Throughout 2015, he produced a high number of tracks for such artists, including Jeremih's "Planez", Big Sean's "Blessings", Meek Mill's "R.I.C.O.", Lil Durk's "Like Me" and Chris Brown's "Back to Sleep".[9]
