Biography
Floyd Nathaniel Hills was born on February 22, 1982 in Virginia Beach , Virginia , and learned to play drums and piano at a young age. In 2001, he had the opportunity to play a little for Timbaland . Two years later, Timbaland invited Danja to Miami to work in the studio.
Career
He produced a large number of songs together with Timbaland, which was the impetus for the restoration of the former glory of the producer. In 2006, they released hits like Promiscuous and Say It Right for Nelly Furtado , SexyBack , What Goes Around ... / ... Comes Around and My Love for Justin Timberlake , and also “ Give It to Me ” and “ The Way I Are ” from Timbaland’s second solo album, Shock Value . In 2007, he wrote the hit " Gimme More " for Britney Spears and a few more songs from the Blackout album.
His works in recent years include Madonna’s songs “ 4 Minutes ”, Mariah Carey “ Migrate ” from the album E = MC² , Keri Hilson “ Knock You Down ” from the album In a Perfect World ... , P! Nk “ Sober ” with album Funhouse and many others.
Around mid-2009, Nate recorded his own music label, New Age Rock Stars (NARS). After that, the musician decides to leave co-production for Timbaland in solo production. In an interview with Nathan in 2013, the musician refuted the assumption of a quarrel with Timbo, explaining the long (almost 4 years) pause in communication “with a difference in future goals.”
On his twitter, Dange posted a photo and video of his collaboration with Timbo, as well as Polow da Don.
