    Thanks for watching! Make sure to hit SUBSCRIBE!
    Over the last few years alone, Tommee Profitt has achieved tremendous success as a producer, songwriter, and award-winning composer for TV and movies. A lifelong musician who taught himself to play piano as a child and started producing his own music at age 12, Profitt has earned accolades and acclaim for his genre-warping production work with platinum-selling artists like Migos, Hunter Hayes, and NF-the rapper/singer/songwriter whose Profitt-produced 2017 single “Let You Down” went five-times platinum, hit #1 on Billboard’s US Mainstream Top 40 chart, and surpassed a billion streams worldwide. In addition, his cover of Linkin Park’s “In The End” (featuring Fleurie) has accumulated over 855 million streams, landed on Spotify’s Viral 50 chart in 23 countries, emerged as the #52 most Shazamed song of 2019, and continues to impact TikTok users across the globe by driving 200 million views weekly.
    Additionally, Profitt’s unique cinematic releases have not only clocked over one billion global lifetime streams, 500k CZcams subscribers, and a monthly listenership of over two million users on Spotify-they have also garnered widespread success in the sync world. His unique sonic fingerprint has landed over 200 sync placements with the NFL, MLB, NHL, ESPN, CBS, FOX, ABC, NBC, HBO, WWE, and Showtime, and in major network shows, films, and video games, with some of his biggest successes including The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Pt. 2, The Girl in the Spider’s Web, The Good Doctor, The Handmaid’s Tale, Assassin’s Creed, UFC2, Madden, and many more.
    Profitt is currently in the studio working on new original material, with more details to be revealed soon. In the meantime, keep up with Profitt on his socials linked below.

    "When I Grow Up" is one of mine and Nate's fav tracks from his album "The Search" (2019)... so I thought I'd go back and give a small peek at what went into creating the production on this track; from the instruments used, to the vocals. Let me know if this type of content is interesting to you, and what you'd like to see more of in the future! ALSO, just got a new fan number so you can text me personally and get updates! +1 (615)-808-8156 ... I'll definitely be responding to some when I can! Hope to hear from you!

      This content is definitely interesting! I just binge-watched all your "how I produced NF's songs" videos. You are a real master of your craft! You can hear the layers when you listen to the songs, but I still didn't appreciate just how many layers there are and the different types of layers. Please keep on making these videos! :D

    Once again, you’re building your legend as we speak. NF, the Cinematic Songs series. The Birth of a King was brilliant. Covers Volume 1 is outstanding. I really just need you to drop new music on the regular with NF, Fleurie, Brooke, and all the other talented artists you work with.
