Stelios Phili[1] is an American songwriter and record producer based in New York, New York.[2] He has produced tracks for A$AP Ferg, featuring artists such as Big Sean, SZA, and MIA.[3][4]
Career
In 2013, Stelios Phili composed the runway music for En Noir's Spring/Summer 2014 show.[5][6] In early 2014, he composed the music for designer Mark McNairy's Fall/Winter 2014 show.[7][8]
According to an interview with MTV Rap Fix,[9] Phili met the rapper A$AP Ferg while working at GQ in 2013. The two began collaborating after fellow A$AP Mob member A$AP Nast passed along one of the producer's beats, which would later become the A$AP Ferg song, "Ja-Rule," featuring Big Sean. In 2014, Phili produced the first single from A$AP Ferg's mixtape, Ferg Forever. The song, "Doe-Active," was met with positive reviews.[10][11][12][13] Pitchfork Media described the song as "a minimalist beat that could've slid right into Yeezus," Stereogum called it "a total nutso banger," and Complex named it a "certified banger, with club-destroying drums." Phili's production was featured on four additional tracks on Ferg Forever.[14]
