Originally meeting at kids, Bordeaux and Non Native formed a bond from their influential love for the award-winning production duo of Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, also known as, The Neptunes. Bordeaux explains:

“My parents were first generation immigrants so music was definitely a way for me to make friends and learn about different cultures.”

Their signature sound is a customized infusion of all genres rolled into one. Dance, Latin, R&B, Pop and Hip Hip, Bordeaux and Non Native deliver artists a production that is magnetic, eternal and worldly. Crediting Electronic music played a huge part in the beginning of their careers. In sessions, the duo prefers to cook up with the artist(s) in the same room.

“We can switch seats anytime during a session, and we both know exactly what to do and how to continue the session.”

After securing a successful hip-hop run, Bordeaux and Non Native shocked the game with as the producers of R&B superstar H.E.R.’s latest single, “Hold”.
The “Damaged” hitmaker premiered the song during her debut performance on the iconic sketch comedy show, Saturday Night Live. Giving Bordeaux and Non Native the biggest moment of their career yet.

This month, it was announced that Lil Tjay’s 2020 single, “Zoo York,” a song produced by Bordeaux and Non Native, achieved gold status with the RIAA. And with limitless potential, hip-hop at their beckond call and other genres awaiting exploration, Bordeaux and Non Native’s presence will be heard throughout speakers for an unfoseeable future.
