Born in Philadelphia in 1986, Derel "Sir Clef" Haynes knew from his background in church that he wanted to pursue music. Soon, he was taken under the wing of super producers Carvin "Ransum" Haggins and Keith Pelzer where he earned his stripes in music production, working with artists as varied as Will Smith, Floetry, Kenny Latimore, Timbaland, Lil Kim and Boys II Men, just to name a few.

But that wasn't enough for Clef - he stepped up his production game, focusing on musicianship, taught himself to play keys by ear and moved to Atlanta to make his mark. With his own production set-up, he circulated beats he made in ProTools and Logic, landing him gigs with T.I., Andre 3000, Freeway, Charlie Baltimore, Robin Thicke, Keri Hilson and numerous others.

Clef classifies his sound as "unpredictable" with cultural influences that know no boundaries. Clef's current focus is on nothing but the years of work ahead and constantly redefining himself. As he puts it, "Without faith nothing is possible, with it nothing's impossible."
