Early life and career

Schofield was born and raised in Miami, Florida. His first hit as a producer was "This Is Why I'm Hot" for Mims in 2007, which would go on to peak at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. He also produced most of the other songs on Mims' Music Is My Savior album as part of DJ Blackout's Blackout Movement. In 2010, he co-wrote "Blow Ya’ Mind," along with top songwriter Larry Nacht, Winston Thomas, Safaree Samuels and artist Nicki Minaj, for Minaj’s debut album, Pink Friday, which music reviewer Pitchfork called "among the best on the record." A few years later, he was introduced to Amir "Cash" Esmailian and Tony Sal, co-managers to the Weeknd and Canadian rapper Belly. He would go on to produce all 10 tracks on the Weeknd's debut studio album Kiss Land which was released in September 2013. He won his first Grammy for his work on the Weeknd's Beauty Behind the Madness which included production and songwriting work on "Often", "Acquainted", and "Angel."
In October 2013, he joined Ben Billions and Belly to co-write "6 Inch" for Beyoncé featuring the Weeknd. The song would eventually appear on Lemonade which was nominated for Album of the Year at the 2017 Grammy Awards and won for Best Urban Contemporary Album. DannyBoyStyles is also a frequent collaborator with The Weeknd and Belly and has produced or written songs for a variety of artists including French Montana, NAV, and Juicy J.
