There are two types of smiles. The first comes from concerted approval; the second spreads reflexively. The former is often feigned, the latter is all natural. Ricky Reed makes the second type.

It’s a sweltering April Friday in Los Angeles’ steep Elysian Heights neighborhood when the pop producer’s face bursts with ear-to-ear glee. We’re in the basement studio of Reed’s three-story compound, which houses the operations of the 33-year-old’s new Atlantic Records imprint,. Upstairs there’s a modern living room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city below; downstairs, Reed runs his hands underneath a Sound City piano, looking for the sticker Tom Petty slapped on its undercarriage when it belonged to him. “I had Rivers [Cuomo] in for a session the other day,” Reed says, referring to frontman. “And he saw this piano and told me he remembered using it in the studio for one of their records, and I crossed my fingers and hoped and prayed, and then he goes, ‘I think it was Pinkerton.'

” The smile spreads across his face. He pumps his fist.

“I knew there was something special about it,” he says. Plenty of stars would swear there’s something special about the magic Reed makes behind the decks, too. Born Eric Frederic, the producer slowly has ascended the ranks of pop music’s elite over the past half-decade; with a solo career of his own (as the leader of the Bay Area-indebted electro-rap group Wallpaper.), Reed has also helped redefine the sound of pop radio with his work for acts like, Fifth Harmony, Twenty One Pilots, Pitbull, and Meghan Trainor. If you’ve heard a muscular horn hook or a bass line so funky your nose involuntarily wrinkles, odds are that he’s behind it, but don’t expect him to repeat his tricks. Every move he makes shifts his constantly evolving sound, making him tricky to pigeonhole and increasingly more in-demand. If you give him a chance, he’ll flip the script with a grin. Reed was raised in Berkeley, California. Basshunter All I Ever Wanted Acapella Breathing.  As a child, he took piano lessons but hated them, instead crediting his love of music to local influence. Growing up as Oakland’s vibrant punk scene clashed with “super-authentic local rap,” Reed knew he wanted in on the action.

“Early Green Day, AFI, Operation Ivy: All that’s happening while local artists — E-40, Rappin’ 4-Tay, Too $hort — are getting radio play,” he says. “I’m in fourth grade, hearing right while Green Day is breaking. That’s a big influence on me, because when I produce a rock record, I have the soulfulness of R&B and rap productions in mind, and when I produce a rap or funk or soul record, I have the directness and the power and the heaviness of a great rock recording in mind. They’re inextricable to me.” After disbanding his high-school punk group, Reed enrolled at UC Berkeley, where he juggled a prog band with a side project that was meant to be a parody. Was a satire to poke fun at what was happening in pop culture,” he says. “But I was in college, and, motivated by meeting girls, I decided to start doing music that I could actually perform at parties.” The producer says Wallpaper.
