One thing led to other and he was soon introduced to Jimmy Iovine who signed him up for Interscope Records, and the rest is history. Playy has worked with some of the biggest names in history and today, his song ‘Birthday Dress’ featuring Matthew Koma has garnered a millions views on YouTube making him a popular music sensation.
