Grammy-nominated music producer Brytavious Lakeith Chambers, aka Tay Keith, was found dead in his Nashville apartment on Thursday afternoon. News of his death quickly spread on social media.

Metro Nashville Police found his body during a welfare check, according to Action News 5. No foul play is suspected.

The South Memphis native is best known for his production on rapper BlocBoy JB’s single “Look Alive” featuring Drake. He also produced rapper Travis Scott’s Grammy-nominated “Sicko Mode,” and Drake’s “First Person Shooter” with J. Cole. He also produced music for Cardi B, Eminem and Beyoncé.

Chambers was nominated for a Grammy for “Sicko Mode,” which he helped produce while he attended Middle Tennessee State University. Chambers graduated with degrees in Integrated Studies and Media Management.

“There wouldn’t be any point for me to come to college if I didn’t want to finish it — I could have just focused 100% on music,” MTSU quoted him as saying. “By my last week of college, I had my first No. 1 single, so it didn’t make any sense to drop out.”

“I remember having a flight from New York, and I had a test the same day,” Chambers told MTSU. “So, I flew back from New York that morning, went home, then went straight to class. It was crazy. But if I knew that I could do that, then there wasn’t anything stopping me but myself.”

Chambers became an advocate for cancer awareness after losing his mother in 2021. In his last Instagram post on May 7, Chambers announced Chris Brown’s latest song, “Call Your Name,” featuring Sexyy Red and GloRilla.

Forbes named him on its “30 Under 30” list in 2025. “At 23, Tay Keith became a Grammy-nominated producer for his work on Travis Scott’s ‘Sicko Mode,’ adding to his roster of clients like Cardi B, Eminem and music’s ‘Queen B’ Beyoncé,” Forbes wrote.
