A-Dee (born Sangsik Shin) is a South Korean music producer and executive. He is credited by The Korea Times as the first Korean music producer to reach No. 1 on a Billboard chart, a milestone achieved through his production of "My Angel" by Prince Royce on the soundtrack to Furious 7 in 2015. His career and the production of "My Angel" were also covered by JTBC and SportsQ in April 2015. His subsequent work has included production credits across American, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese pop releases.
Career
Self-taught through online tutorials, Shin relocated to Hollywood in November 2012 to compose and produce music for television and advertising. Over the following two years, he sent two to three demos a week by email to producer DJ Frankie E, who has worked with Madonna and Kanye West, eventually receiving a direct response and an invitation to collaborate at Atlantic Records. Their three-to-four-month collaboration produced "My Angel," recorded by Prince Royce, which was selected for the Furious 7 soundtrack.
The Furious 7 soundtrack debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart dated April 25, 2015, placing "My Angel" on a chart-topping album. JTBC's Los Angeles correspondent Bu So-hyun produced a televised news segment about Shin featuring an on-camera interview alongside commentary from audio engineer Jaime Velez.
