In an industry where longevity is rare and reinvention is essential, few figures embody both quite like Deezle. Born Darius Harrison and raised in the rich musical soil of New Orleans, he has quietly shaped the sound of modern music for more than a decade—now he’s stepping into the spotlight as a recording artist in his own right.
A 3x Grammy Award-winning songwriter, producer, and engineer, Deezle is best known to many for co‑producing Lil Wayne’s era‑defining single “Lollipop,” a track that helped cement Tha Carter III as a modern classic. But that’s just one chapter in an expansive catalogue. His fingerprints can be found across some of the biggest records in hip‑hop, R&B, pop, jazz, gospel and beyond, working with a who’s who of global talent: Drake, Jennifer Lopez, Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Master P, jazz great Donald Harrison Jr., gospel icon Bishop Paul S. Morton, pop‑punk outfit Aqua Dolls, New Orleans legends Rebirth Brass Band, and many more.
.
The numbers tell their own story. Deezle’s work on Tha Carter III contributed to his 3 Grammy wins as an engineer, producer, and songwriter. He’s an 11‑time ASCAP Pop and R&B Award winner, a recipient of the Billion Streams Award for his role in Drake’s smash hit “In My Feelings,” and his credits span dozens of #1 and Top 40 singles. All told, his hands have touched over 75 million records sold—a staggering figure that places him firmly among the elite architects of contemporary music.
Yet Deezle is far from just a studio wizard hidden in the liner notes. He’s brought his energy to stages around the world, performing with DJ Mastachi at the massive EDC Mexico festival in 2019, appearing on MTV Unplugged with Mexican rock band Molotov, and featuring on Peruvian star Michelle Soifer’s single “Son Tus Ojos.” Whether behind the boards or in front of the crowd, he moves with the ease of someone who knows exactly what makes an audience react.

At the centre of his creative universe is Box Bangers Media, his own production company. Through it, Deezle continues to develop new sounds, artists, and projects, extending his influence beyond hit singles into film and visual storytelling. His collaborations with Donald Harrison on scores for Jonathan Demme’s films Right to Return and Rachel Getting Married reveal another dimension to his artistry—one that understands how music can shape narrative, emotion, and atmosphere on screen.

Now, Deezle is channelling that depth of experience into his own artist project, and his latest single, “My Hands on Your Body,” is a statement of intent. The track delivers everything great R&B should: vocals that glide from intimate, breathy confession to full‑bodied power; lyrics that capture the magnetic pull between two people; and a hook so instantly memorable it practically demands you hit replay.
“I was inspired to create ‘My Hands On Your Body’ during an intimate moment with someone I was giving a massage to after she had a hard day at work,” Deezle shares. “As my hands rubbed her legs and butt, she went ‘ahhhhhhh’.” That unfiltered spark translates directly into the music. The song lives in that sweet spot between playful and seductive, sensual yet never forced—a slow‑burn groove designed to move both body and soul.
It’s this ability to translate real‑life moments into immersive, emotionally charged soundscapes that sets Deezle apart. He’s already proven himself as a behind‑the‑scenes powerhouse with Grammys, chart‑toppers, and billions of streams to his name. With “My Hands on Your Body,” he’s making it clear he’s ready to claim his space at the forefront of R&B—bringing the same hitmaking instincts that built careers for others to his own evolution as an artist.
For listeners, that means one thing: the man who helped soundtrack the last decade is just getting started on the next one.
