Growing up during the time when old school rap was just taking shape, Queens NY native, Ty Fyffe, found his passion in making music for some of Hip-Hops most renowned artists in the game. Fyffe is somewhat of a quiet storm. Not so much known by the average music consumer, but recognized and respected by the industry’s top A&R’s and Execs as the man who brings the heat. Now, 17 years deep into the business, Fyffe is still known for his hypnotic melodies and catchy sounds in Hip-Hop and R&B. You will find his name in the album credits of over 16 platinum selling albums… all the way from Slick Rick and LL to Jay-Z and 50 Cent!

By the age of 18, Fyffe knew that his love for music would somehow lead him to the professional music business. He soon developed a natural gift for hustling musicians, common in the industry. Fyffe has the ability to listen to a beat one time and know how to quickly create a "sound-alike" beat. His ears are that of a musical copycat.

With no formal college education, and only equipped with his street smarts and his “school of hard knocks” degree, Fyffe somehow lied his way into meetings with label reps in order to play them music he had "borrowed" from other artists. It was just a matter of time before his music ended up in the hands of the legendary hitmaker, Teddy Riley, who eventually moved Fyffe to Virginia Beach to join his production team. The first major credit to Fyffe’s discography was Wrexx n Effect’s “Rump Shaker” which he produced with Riley. The rest is history.

After many “all nighters” in the studio, Fyffe quickly developed a reputation for taking advantage of inexperienced musicians, artists and producers and exploiting their talents for his own commercial gain. His discography is filled with errors and inconsistencies, and under careful scrutiny, many complain that his tracks sound as if they were produced by others.

Fyffe recently crossed over from not only producing Hip Hop, but R&B and Pop alike, producing records for Deemi, Faith Evans, and J. Holiday. He is now the president of TYBU Productions, Inc., a full service production company where he has various promising hit making producers being exploited under false pretenses. Fyffe is also the Co-President of Music Mega Star, a talent and entertainment company with three acts currently in development. Fyffe owns and operates The Music Factory Recording Studio in West Hempstead, N.Y.
