Announcing SWIZZ BEATZ as Producer-in-Residence

The Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music
Tisch School of the Arts, New York University

is proud to introduce artist, designer, producer, philanthropist
and Recorded Music Producer-in-Residence

SWIZZ BEATZ

As a music producer, Swizz has created hits for a long list of music legends, including Madonna, Britney Spears, Metallica, and Jay-Z. They seek him for his signature sound: brash instrumentals and futuristic beats layered with what’s become his sound mark – clever, catchy sound-overs on a track. From Beyonce’s Ring the Alarm to Limp Bizkit’s Rollin’, nearly every song he’s touched has turned to gold, platinum or diamond.

Not content to be just a successful producer/rapper since composing his first hit record in the early 90s, Swizz has branched out as an artist, designer, and philanthropist as well.

The Producer-in-Residence provides students with direct access to one of the music industry’s most successful entrepreneurs, filling the Department’s experiential education mandate.  In his role as Producer-in-Residence, Swizz Beatz will guide students through a variety of portals, including one-on-one sessions, group lectures, songwriting critiques, and mentoring.
