Schultz was born in St. Louis, Missouri, United States. He is the only child of Steve Schultz and Lynn Schultz. Schultz, a classically trained pianist, showed musical abilities at a very young age and began deejaying local parties at the age of 10. He went on to produce for local acts in and around St. Louis before completing high school. After graduating from Parkway Central High School in 2007, he enrolled in Columbia College, a performing arts school in Chicago, Illinois. Following a chance meeting with fellow student, and then unknown, Jeremih, he began his career in the music industry.[4]
Career
Schultz and Jeremih wrote and recorded one song together shortly after meeting in 2008. Schultz immediately began walking the music in to local radio, where he met his manager, Luis Duran. Encouraged by positive response, the duo immediately set out to compile what would become Jeremih's debut album.[5][6]
In late 2008, Schultz went on to launch his own production company, Mick Schultz Productions, to which he immediately signed Jeremih as his first artist. After receiving a tremendous amount of airplay on their song "Birthday Sex", offers started coming in from all the major record labels. Jeremih was promptly signed to Def Jam Records. In 2009, Schultz was signed to a publishing deal with Universal Music Publishing.[7][8][9]
In 2010, Schultz and Jeremih teamed up again to produce the artist’s sophomore release, All About You.[10] As with Jeremih's debut album, Schultz was once again the sole producer on the album, which includes such hits as "I Like" featuring Ludacris and "Down on Me" featuring 50 Cent.
In mid-2014, Schultz co-produced the double platinum selling single "Don't Tell 'Em" by Jeremih, featuring YG.[15]
Schultz produced Rihanna's "Desperado" off her 2016 album entitled ANTI.[16] He received a Grammy nomination for his work.[17]
In 2018, Schultz received another Grammy nomination for his work on Kelly Clarkson's album Meaning Of Life, in which he produced songs "Heat" and "Medicine".[18]
