Raised in the Chicago, Illinois, area, Wyshmaster started his career producing pop hip-hop tracks for Chicago's Midway Games video games such as NARC and NBA Ballers: Phenom.[13][14][15][16][17] In St. Louis he worked with Nelly, St. Lunatics, Chingy, and other local artists. He produced Brass Knuckles by Nelly [18] and "Superhero" by Chingy.[18]

When SNL played "I'm on a Boat" it went viral, and Wyshmaster moved to Los Angeles.[19][20] While in Los Angeles, he received a Grammy Award nomination,[21] and worked with various American Idol finalists and songwriters, and was signed to Peermusic.[22]

From 2011 until 2018, Wyshmaster teamed up with extreme Institute by Nelly[23] and began dividing his time between producing and investing in the next generation of artists.[24][25] He designed courses such as Beatology and served as a Campus Director in St. Louis, Missouri.[26][27][28][29][30][31][32]

Late 2018, Wyshmaster relocated to Nashville, Tennessee constructing a novel breakthrough program solely surrounding music production.[33] As one of the pioneers of leasing and selling music online, Wysh designed a program for students to learn the art of creating, leasing and selling their music, as well as how to network and earn a living as a music professional.
