Midi Mafia is a hip-hop/R&B production duo consisting of American Bruce Waynne (born Waynne Nugent) from Brooklyn, New York and Canadian Dirty Swift (born Kevin Risto) from Ottawa, Ontario.[1] They are most notable for their production of 50 Cent's number-one single "21 Questions".[2]
They also produced "When I See U", the second single from Fantasia Barrino's self-titled album Fantasia[2] which held the number one spot for eight weeks on the U.S. Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts.[3] More recently, they contributed a track to fellow American Idol contestant David Archuleta's self-titled debut album, released in November 2008. They have also produced for artists such as Jennifer Lopez, Bravehearts, Gemma Fox, Jean Grae, Talib Kweli, Young Buck, Nelly, Miri Ben-Ari, John Legend, Lloyd Banks and Justin Bieber.[4]
In November 2009, "PHamous", a song they produced, was used as a backing track for a flash mob. The flash mob was conceived by popular YouTubers: LisaNova, Shaycarl, MysteryGuitarMan, Kassem G and others. [5].
