Derelle Rideout (Born September 20, 1987) is an RIAA certified platinum Music Producer from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. His family’s background is heavily rooted in music. In his early years, he spent much of his time with them, especially his grandmother. She introduced him to music at an early age. He started playing the drums and piano at 6 years old.

As his adoration for music shaped, he took to the drums as his primary method of artistic expression. His grandmother started taking him to play drums for local churches and cafés to broaden his musical intelligence.

In 2001 he attended Musical Art Colleges (Platteville College) and performed there as a Drummer and Pianist in Platteville, Wisconsin. He was 13 at the time. It was during this time that he started to take music production serious, even producing songs for his middle school. In high school, due to losing his grandmother, he began losing focus. This led his uncle to purchasing him his first piece of musical equipment (a MPC 1000) to stay out of trouble.

He began to make a name for himself locally at 20 years of age as an upcoming producer. His first local hit was a radio smash “BOW” by Ray Nitti. He then started to produce for many local acts, which helped his buzz heighten. In 2013 He created a production group with other Milwaukee Producers, Bizness Boi, 808, Yung Dev and Deonte Hayes. He then relocated to Atlanta to work with producer, Honorable CNOTE of Honorable Court. Derelle Rideout then produced many songs such as: “Can I” Kodak Black, “Boring Shit” Lil Uzi, “Heaven Sent” K Camp, “Big Homie” Peewee Longway, “Feeling Like” Kodak Black ft. Jeezy,”My Wrist’ Fetty Wap, “Handouts” Honorable Cnote, “Thank God” + “Reloaded Intro” Don Q, “Retaliation” A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, and more.

In 2016 he moved to Houston, where he currently resides. It was at this time that created his own production label, Ink and Drums. From there, in 2018, he produced “Up Right Now” for Supa Bwe and Xavier Omar which is also featured on NBA 2K19. He also produced Gucci Mane’s “Slide” feat. Quavo on East Atlanta Santa 3 released December of 2019. Derelle continues working with major/indie artists and has a couple major placements slated to release in 2020.
