The 29-year-old was found dead in his Nashville apartment on June 18 during a welfare check, according to the Metro Nashville Police Department.
“No foul play is suspected in the death of Brytavious Chambers, 29, also known as Grammy nominated record producer Tay Keith,” the department shared on X. “He was found dead in his Martin St apt this afternoon by officers performing a welfare check. His death is unclassified pending autopsy results.”
Born in Memphis on September 20, 1996, Keith started making music as a teenager and posting it on YouTube, according to Rolling Stone. He rose to prominence in 2018, producing several hits for BlocBoy JB, including “Rover,” “Shoot,” and the Drake-assisted “Look Alive.”
Keith’s success continued that year with production credits on Drake’s “Nonstop,” Eminem’s “Not Alike,” and Travis Scott’s “Sicko Mode.” His work on the latter track earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Song.
In 2019, Keith produced the bonus track “Before I Let Go” for Beyoncé’s Homecoming: The Live Album. He followed this by producing Lil Nas X‘s “Holiday” in 2020 and DJ Khaled’s “I Did It” in 2021, which featured Post Malone, Megan Thee Stallion, Lil Baby, and DaBaby. In 2020, Keith also released his only album, Fxck the Cash Up, with the group Fast Cash Boyz.
