Kasseem Dean (born September 13, 1978), known professionally as Swizz Beatz, is an American hip hop recording artist, DJ, record producer, art collector, and entrepreneur from New York City. Born and raised in The Bronx, Dean began his musical career as a disc jockey (DJ).
At the age of 16, he gained recognition in the hip hop industry through his friendship and work with East Coast rapper DMX and his family’s Ruff Ryders Entertainment record label. Dean later found a protégé in Philadelphia-based rapper Cassidy, whose success helped the launch of his own label imprint, Full Surface Records in 1999.
He went on to sign multiple artists to the label, including Eve, Mashonda, and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. Dean also released two albums under the label; the first was a compilation, titled Swizz Beatz Presents G.H.E.T.T.O.
Stories, released in 2002, and later his debut studio album, One Man Band Man in 2007. In November 2018, Dean released his second studio album, Poison, featuring collaborations with multiple hip hop artists.
Dean has produced many hit singles for a number of prominent artists across different music genres, such as hip hop, pop, soul, and R&B. With a career spanning two decades, his catalog includes “Ruff Ryders’ Anthem” and “Party Up (Up in Here)” (DMX), “Gotta Man” (Eve), “Jigga My Nigga” and “Girl’s Best Friend” (Jay-Z), “Upgrade U”, “Check on It” and “Ring the Alarm” (Beyoncé), “Good Times” (Styles P), “Bring ‘Em Out” and “Swing Ya Rag” (T.I.), “Hotel” and “I’m a Hustla” (Cassidy), “Touch It” (Busta Rhymes) and “Ultralight Beam” (Kanye West), among others.
Dean was named the first “Producer in Residence” at New York University, for the 2010–11 academic year. About.com ranked him number 27 on its list of the “Top 50 Greatest Hip-Hop Producers,” and The Source included him on its list of the “20 greatest producers” in the magazine’s 20-year history.
Fellow American rapper and producer Kanye West called Dean “the best rap producer of all time.” Aside from music, Dean has also added multiple entrepreneurial endeavors to his repertoire, including fashion design, art collecting, and board directing.
He’s been a member of trustees at the Brooklyn Museum since 2015, and a creative director for the companies Monster Cable and Reebok. Dean is married to American musician Alicia Keys, with whom he has two children. The two were featured in their first cover shoot in 2018 for Cultured Magazine.

Keys told Wendy Williams during an appearance on her show that she actually met her future husband when they were just teenagers. “We met when I was sixteen and he was seventeen.
And a friend of ours went to his high school and was like ‘Oh, you gotta meet Swizz,’ and she was like ‘Alicia is about to blow up,’ and ‘Swizz is doing his thing. And maybe one day y’all can work together.’ And that was how we met,” she explained.
It was definitely not loved at first sight for the two, however. Keys told Marie Claire UK that she really didn’t want anything to do with the DJ at the time. “Honestly, I didn’t really like him that much,” she told the magazine. “I thought he was too ostentatious.”
“Swizz will have the fastest car, the biggest jewelry, the loudest jacket,” she explains. “Everything with him is really over the top. I used to see him and think, ‘He is so annoying.’”
That all changed when the duo reconnected around 2008, although there was some controversy over their love connection as Dean was still married to R&B singer Mashonda Tifrere at the time.
Dean and Keys suggest the marriage was over and the couple separated before they connected, but Mashonda at the time stated that wasn’t the case, writing an open letter to the singer on social media.
“I made it very clear that on the contrary of what she might be hearing, I am still married to my husband, living with him and just had a child,” she wrote. “It been two years and I still have not received a response.”
Keys and Dean married in 2010 and fortunately, the blended family were able to repair their relationship and have built a solid co-parenting plan, formed a friendship and have even gone on vacations together for the sake of their children.
