Mustard

Mustard, born Dijon Isaiah McFarlane on June 5, 1990, is an American record producer, DJ, and occasional rapper from Los Angeles, California. Formerly performing as DJ Mustard, he started DJing around age 12, initially at family gatherings, before moving on to school events like pep rallies and football games, laying the groundwork for a production career built on rhythm and crowd energy.

He became one of the defining producers of West Coast hip-hop and R&B in the 2010s, known for his stripped-down, bass-heavy "ratchet" sound built on minimal synth stabs, hand claps, and hypnotic bounce. This signature style helped shape hits across rap and pop, contributing to his reputation as one of the most influential hitmakers of his generation.

His catalogue includes tracks such as "Ballin'", "Pure Water", "Baguettes in the Face", and "Whole Lotta Lovin'", spanning collaborations with major names across rap, R&B, and pop. Mustard's production style has been widely imitated and has left a lasting mark on mainstream hip-hop's sonic palette, cementing his place as one of the genre's most sought-after hitmakers.
