Grammy-nominated producer Tay Keith found dead at 29 in Nashville

Grammy-nominated music producer Tay Keith was discovered deceased in his Nashville apartment on Thursday, according to a media source reporting on the incident. The artist, whose birth name was Brytavious Chambers, was found unresponsive during a welfare check conducted by local law enforcement. The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department has confirmed that no foul play is suspected in his death, which is particularly tragic given that Keith was just 29 years old.

At present, the cause of death is pending the results of an autopsy. Known for his significant contributions to the music industry, Keith rose to prominence by collaborating with some of the biggest names in the business, including Beyoncé and Drake. His incredible talent as a hitmaker is underscored by his track record—which includes four songs reaching the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Notable works include Travis Scott’s “Sicko Mode,” a smash hit from 2018, and Drake’s recent single “First Person Shooter.”

Keith’s career also saw him celebrated for his production work on “Sicko Mode,” for which he received a Grammy nomination in 2019. This recognizes not only his skill but also his emergence as a significant figure in the production landscape during his studies at Middle Tennessee State University. Additional accolades followed, with a nomination in 2024 for his production contributions to “Rich Flex,” a collaboration between Drake and 21 Savage.

In addition to his high-profile partnerships, Tay Keith frequently worked with rapper Sexyy Red, lending his production prowess to tracks like “Get It Sexxy” and “Pound Town.” His untimely passing is a substantial loss to the music community, where he was regarded as a talented and innovative force.

As the industry mourns this promising young producer, tributes are expected to pour in recognizing his substantial impact on modern music and collaborative artistry.
