Elif Bicer, Marco Freivogel, The Mole, Hreno - 11 am (feat. Elif Bicer)

He had an early nickname of &quot;Deep House&quot; because of his baggy pants and backpacks.

He sold his first beat to local Chicago rapper Gravity for $8,800.

He mixed &quot;Diamonds From Sierra Leone&quot; 14 times.

&quot;Stronger&quot; took 50 mixes and eight engineers to complete.

Michael Jackson called him to ask about the jacket he wore in the &quot;Stronger&quot; video.

While recording &lt;em&gt;808s &amp; Heartbreak&lt;/em&gt;, he saw Hawaii's 808 area code as a sign that the album was meant to be.

He says that Drake was the first artist who actually scared and put pressure on him.
