Life and career
Early life
Louis Bell was born on May 27, 1981 in Boston, Massachusetts. He began taking piano lessons at the age of 11 and used this skill to make beats with a keyboard and the audio software Fruity Loops, which lead to him developing himself as a rapper and recording himself on the computer and eventually opening his own studio in Boston where he worked with dozens of artists. [1]
Career
In 2013, Bell moved to Los Angeles after signing with his manager Austin Rosen, CEO/Founder of Electric Feel Management[2]. Rosen introduced Bell to Post Malone's manager Dre London in 2015 to work on the production for another client when London asked Bell to work on Malone's song with 50 Cent “Tryna Fuck Me Over". [3] After some time working together in the studio, Bell and Malone quickly realized they had a great chemistry and the same vision musically and have working together ever since. [1] The duo continued to work together on Malone's debut album Stoney and multiple singles including “White Iverson” that gained popularity in late 2015. [4]
Bell's career took off in January 2016 when Justin Bieber visited him, Malone, and fellow producer Frank Dukes in the studio while finishing the Stoney album and the resulting product was the hit song "Deja Vu".[5]
In August 2016, Bell's first hit song “Let Me Love You” by Justin Bieber, DJ Snake, and co-written with a longtime collaborator Andrew Watt, made its chart-topping debut. [6] Bell and Malone's co-production “Congratulations,” Stoney’s lead single, debuted at Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart followed by the second single of the album "Rockstar" that held the #1 spot on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart for three straight weeks. [7]
Bell has also collaborated with numerous artists including Selena Gomez, Marshmello, PartyNextDoor, Tyga, Juvenile, Odesza, Sugar Ray, Mike Stud, OMI, Joe Budden, Andrew Watt, and many more. Bell earned a spot on Variety's 2017 Hitmakers list for his work on Malone's “Congratulations,”, Kygo's collaboration with Selena Gomez "It Ain't Me", and Camila Cabello and Young Thug's "Havana”.
