Christian Arceo (born December 1, 1990), professionally known as Vybe Beatz,[1] is an American record producer from San Jose, California. Vybe is best known for producing, hip hop R&B, and Trap instrumentals. He is also known for originally producing, All the Way Turnt Up by Roscoe Dash, & Travis Porter.
Early life
When Arceo was 13, he started downloading software programs off of the very popular limewire, which is how he found the first Digital Audio WorkStation (DAW) Sony Acid,[2] because he was very intrigued about composing music after he had starrted, he did some research on other DAW's and came across Fl Studio. He liked working on this so much that it would keep him up all day and night, and even after school he couldn't wait to make create music.
Career
Vybe was one of the first musicians to reach over 200 million plays on soundclick.[3] He produced the hit single by Roscoe Dash titled "All the Way Turnt Up". A controversy started around this song once another rap group Travis Porter recorded an alternate version to this song using the production made by Vybe,[4] and didn't feature Dash as the main artist / writer. Because of this, Dash re-recorded the song, and even had another producer K.E. on the Track re-produce the instrumental, and Dash featured this as his hit single for his debut album with interscope records.
