His major influences in producing come from Just Blaze, Drumma Boy and Dr. Dre. His work is marked with a "You are now rocking with Aonebeats" tag in most of his recent music.

AOne has also done production for high-profile artists such as French Montana, Rick Ross, Young Buck, Juicy J, Birdman, Wizkid (musician), Prodigy and Yo Gotti, among many others. In the summer of 2013, AOne produced the bass thumping record "Gallardo" for Maybach Music Group and Atlantic Records's "Self Made Vol.3" Compilation Album, which debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 chart with first-week sales of 50,000 copies.[4] On March 23, 2012 AOne released his first solo full-length project, a mixtape titled Aone Perico, which featured guest appearances from several rappers including Uncle Murda, French Montana, Trae tha Truth, Mistah F.A.B. and more. in May 2015, AOne teamed up with Livemixtapes to release his second solo project, an extended play (EP) titled Cocaine, Steak & Wine.[5] He is currently working on his debut studio album to be released in 2015, along with various collaborative projects.

Style and equipment

Aone has called himself a fan of producers such as Havoc (musician) and DJ Toomp, but writes and produces a variety of genres. About his style, he has stated "It's a mix of the South, and it's a mix of New York. It's a mix of everything. It's something different."[6] Aone uses FL Studio and custom plug-ins to create his beats.[7] He is known for sampling jazz, funk, and soul artists,[8] Like many other producers Aone uses a musical signature tag on many of the songs he has produced. His main tag is a Female pitched-up voice saying "You are now rocking with Aonebeats"
