D’Mile Talks Almost Quitting Music, Working with H.E.R. & More for ‘Beyond The Beat’

A few years ago, D’Mile considered giving up on his music career. Then, in 2020, he was nominated for seven GRAMMY awards for his work on two monumental albums. What happened in between was nothing short of hard work, the manifestation of a decade-plus in music, and the divine gift of pulling the best out of today’s brightest R&B stars.

H.E.R., Lucky Daye, Silk Sonic, Justin Bieber—this is just a shortlist of artists that the songwriter-producer-multi-instrumentalist has collaborated with to make award-winning music. A Brooklyn native through and through, D’Mile credits his musicality to his parents, who were also esteemed musicians, and the borough that raised him.

For the latest episode of Audiomack’s Beyond The Beat podcast, hosted by Billboard Deputy Director of R&B/Hip-Hop Carl Lamarre, four-time GRAMMY-winning producer D'Mile breaks down his origin story, winning an Oscar, working with H.E.R., and more.
