Nic Nac

Nicholas Matthew Balding (born July 5, 1989), known professionally as Nic Nac, is an American record producer and songwriter from El Cerrito, California.

He is best known for producing a string of successful hip hop singles during the mid-2010s, including "Loyal" for Chris Brown, "Do It Again" for Pia Mia, and DJ Khaled's "I'm the One" and "No Brainer".

He started to DJ because he lived up the street from a Guitar Center and went there everyday to hang around the people who worked there.

They showed him how to DJ, so by the time he got to high school, he met a kid in his class who made beats and he gave him a program.

He was playing songs by different rappers such as the Ying Yang Twins, E-40, Lil Jon, and Too $hort.

[4] He got into production when he was fourteen years old in high school and was using Fruity Loops (now FL Studio).

[5] After "143", the next big hit he produced was "Beat It" by Sean Kingston, Chris Brown, and Wiz Khalifa.

[6] Nic Nac describes his melodies as "video gamey", with heavy R&B chords underneath.
