Sean Seaton known professionally as Neenyo is a Canadian record producer and songwriter. He is best known for his works with Drake, PARTYNEXTDOOR as well as various artists including Future, Mr. Probz, Jadakiss and Lloyd Banks. Neenyo has received widespread acclaim for his production style.
Neenyo was born and raised in the Toronto suburb of Mississauga. His elder brother used to Dj at nightclubs and uncle was a radio DJ. Following them, he began Djing at home during his adolescent years when mixtapes were becoming popular. He then ventured into electronic-infused R&B music.
Neenyo and PartyNextDoor grew up in the same neighborhood in Mississauga, Ontario, and they would later share their ideas and thoughts about music. Having produced for Lloyd Banks' "Gang Green Season" and Dipset's "I’m Reloaded" in his early career, helped him entering into the American market. He later went to produce Drake on his Comeback Season mixtape and make beats for many more, including Fabolous, Grafh, Red Café and Jadakiss. In 2009 Jadakiss's The Last Kiss album which he produced ranked #1 on Billboard's Top rap albums chart. Since then, he has had the opportunity to work with Akon, The Lox, Bobby Valentino, Collie Buddz and others. In 2015, Neenyo produced another song titled “Plastic Bag” for Drake and Future's platinum-selling What a Time to Be Alive project.
