Bobby Brackins

About

After writing hits for others, rapper, songwriter, and producer Bobby Brackins broke out on his own as a solo artist. Born and raised in Oakland, California, Bobby began writing for other artists after a move to Los Angeles. His solo career was still a concern, as mixtapes like 2011's The Young and Hungover with <a href="spotify:artist:0A0FS04o6zMoto8OKPsDwY">YG</a> appeared, but being behind the scenes kept him busy, especially in 2014. That year, he received a BMI Award for co-writing <a href="spotify:artist:7bXgB6jMjp9ATFy66eO08Z">Chris Brown</a>'s "Loyal" and co-wrote Billboard's number one R&B song of the year, <a href="spotify:artist:0NIIxcxNHmOoyBx03SfTCD">Tinashe</a>'s "2 On." By the end of 2014 he returned to his solo career with the single "Hot Box" featuring <a href="spotify:artist:02kJSzxNuaWGqwubyUba0Z">G-Eazy</a>, while 2015 saw him join with <a href="spotify:artist:3KV3p5EY4AvKxOlhGHORLg">Jeremih</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6sCbFbEjbYepqswM1vWjjs">Zendaya</a> for the single "My Jam." ~ David Jeffries
