May's Special Guest:
Bandplay, RIAA Platinum & Gold Certified Producer

ABOUT BANDPLAY
Krishon Gaines, professionally known as "Bandplay," is a prolific producer hailing from Columbia, Tennessee. His musical odyssey ignited with a fervent fascination for beats and melodies, sparked by his brother who adeptly introduced him to the art of music production.

Versatility defines Bandplay's craft. While he garners widespread acclaim for his hard-hitting trap compositions, his artistry transcends the confines of rap and hip-hop. He draws inspiration from luminary figures such as Drumma Boy, Juicy J and other trailblazing artists emanating from the Southern scene.
But, what truly distinguishes Bandplay? It's his signature producer tag: "Let the Bandplay!" When this resonant declaration graces a track, listeners know they're in store for a certified smash hit.

His illustrious portfolio boasts collaborations with titans of the industry. Notably, for being the creative mastermind behind numerous projects for Key Glock, including the beloved track "Major" (featuring Young Dolph). Bandplay's sonic imprint has also left an indelible mark on records ranging from French Montana's "Water" to recent hits by BigXthaPlug's such as: "Mmhmm," "Climate" and "Whip It."

In recognition of his monumental contributions to the music industry, Bandplay has earned prestigious accolades including RIAA Platinum Certification for his work on Young Dolph's "Major" and Upchurch's "Rolling Stoned" singles. Additionally, his sonic craftsmanship has been instrumental in achieving RIAA Gold Certification for acclaimed albums like "Dum and Dummer" by Young Dolph & Key Glock, "Rich Slave" by Young Dolph, and singles such as "1 Scale" by Young Dolph and "Dough" by Key Glock.

Bandplay's collaborative efforts played a pivoted role in the success of albums by Kodak Black, Megan Thee Stallion, Upchurch, Big Scarr and Gucci Mane, cementing his status as a revered figure within the music industry.

Outside the confines of the studio, Bandplay cherishes precious moments with his three children. Fueled by his unwavering passion for music, he remains committed to making waves within the industry. With aspirations set on securing a Grammy, Bandplay's journey continues to captivate and inspire.
