POWER HITTERS: LOSHENDRIX

Our Power Hitters feature turns the spotlight on the brilliant songwriters and producers behind the biggest smashes in the biz, the players who regularly step up to the plate and deliver a hit—and frequently drive it clear out of the park.

Creator of the ethereal riff distinguishing SZA's 2021 smash "Good Days" (TDE/RCA), LosHendrix has soared to new heights as a guitarist, songwriter and producer over the last two years. "Good Days" was a chart-topping R&B smash, the eighth-biggest song of the first half of 2021.

Los hails from New York but is now based in L.A. He made his bones as an early collaborator of Brent Faiyaz's, contributing production to Faiyaz's group Sonder before he went solo. The multi-hyphenate produced key tracks like "Trust" and "Target on My Chest" (check the blistering solo), from Faiyaz's 2018 EP Lost, as well as "Clouded" and "Been Away," among others, from his 2020 full-length, Fuck the World.

Los' R&B prowess was further cemented by his work with Not So Fast/Epic breakthrough GIVĒON, whose 2020 album, Take Time, earned a Grammy nomination. He has credits on three songs from the project, including the platinum-certified "Like I Want You."

Other Grammy-nominated acts LosHendrix has collaborated with include Childish Gambino, Ant Clemons, Camila Cabello, Kehlani, 2 Chainz and Doja Cat. His latest major co-production is Don Toliver & Kali Uchis' sexy "Drugs and Hella Melodies," which is approaching 20m streams at Spotify.

LosHendrix is repped by Range Media's Tyler Henry and Charles "CJ" Cook, with A&R Daniella Cabargas handling publishing at APG. Be good to your earhole: Listen below.
