Cameron Cartee (born September 8, 1986), is an American audio engineer from Atlanta, Georgia. Cartee has recorded and mixed songs for major artists across the American hip hop industry, such as Young Thug, Travis Scott, Rich Homie Quan, Migos, 21 Savage, and Gucci Mane.
Early life
Cameron Cartee was born on September 8, 1986, in Atlanta, Georgia. He was raised in Madison, Georgia. He learned to drums and bass growing up in his local church. He was also in small garage bands.[1]
Cartee could not find a major for college to satisfied his wants, and went through eight or nine majors in total before he dropped out. He was later working at restaurant jobs. One of Cartee's friends introduced him to Logic Pro, a digital audio workstation program. He was interested in the program, but he could not figure out how to use it at the time, so one month later, he enrolled in Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida, to study audio engineering. Cartee graduated from the Full Sail in 2010 with a bachelor's degree in recording arts, and then scored an internship at Maze Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, to where he later relocated, and worked frequently with another record producer, Ben H. Allen, who taught Cartee more about recording and mixing for an additional three years. He also assisted Allen on projects for the experimental pop band Animal Collective and experimental musician Youth Lagoon, before fully going into working in the hip hop genre.[1][2]
Career
Cartee visited many recording studios around Atlanta with his résumé looking for another internship, and got one as a technician at DARP Studios (later renamed as UAMG Studios) through his manager, Monica Tannian, due to his work with Allen. As he was in DARP Studios often, he got the opportunity to work with major artists such as T.I., Waka Flocka Flame, PartyNextDoor, and Tinashe, among others. In 2012, he met Metro Boomin at UAMG Studios, which lead to Cartee working with more artists and record producers such as Young Thug, Rich Homie Quan, Migos, DJ Spinz, Southside, TM88, 808 Mafia, Sonny Digital, and many more.[2]
Cartee is Young Thug's personal and most trusted recording and mixing engineer. He met Thug in early 2013, and the first song they worked together on was "Some More", from Metro Boomin's debut mixtape 19 & Boomin' , on which he also mixed most of the songs and executive produced it. Metro approached Cartee and asked him to record that song due to Thug having issues with his former recording and mixing engineer, whom Thug removed from that studio session.[3] Cartee has been working with Thug closely ever since, as well with Metro Boomin and more recently, 21 Savage, for which Cartee recently recorded and mixed their debut EP, Savage Mode.[4][5][6]
