The producer, real name Brytavious Lakeith Chambers, was found dead at the age of 29 in his apartment on June 18 during a welfare check conducted by the Metro Nashville Police. “BryTavious was a visionary producer, songwriter, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and cultural force whose work helped define the sound of a generation. From Memphis to the global stage, he shaped countless hit records and left a lasting mark on music and culture,” his family said in a statement. “While the world knew him as Tay Keith, his family knew him as BryTavious—a source of love, strength, laughter, and guidance. We take comfort in knowing that his legacy will live on through the music he created, the opportunities he provided, and the lives he touched.”
Earlier this month, it was revealed that the producer had ketamine and mitragynine, a main component of kratom, in his system at the time of his death. A regional medical examiner concluded that the “toxic effects” of the substances were the cause of death.
He left behind an estate that includes royalties from his production discography, which is made up of tracks for the likes of Drake, Sexyy Red, BlocBoy JB, and Travis Scott, among others.
