Ainz "Brainz" Prasad embarked on his illustrious career in the music industry in 1998 with a publishing deal signed with esteemed songwriter Kenny "Baby Face" Edmonds. This partnership marked the inception of a stellar trajectory that quickly saw him becoming a multi-platinum music producer.

Brainz's talent soon catapulted him to the top of the charts. He demonstrated his prowess by composing and producing music for a range of celebrated artists, including Jamie Foxx, Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg, P!NK, Miley Cyrus, French Montana, and Pitbull, among others. His versatile capabilities extend to additional music, film scoring, and music supervision, proving his innate ability to keep his finger on Hollywood's pulse.

His accomplishments include an American Music Award for the Soundtrack of the Year for "Save The Last Dance". Unperturbed by this success, Brainz continued to compose for numerous films such as "Django", "The Amazing Spider Man", "Hard Ball", "Pootie Tang", "Beerfest" and more. His work extends to television networks like FOX, BET, and ESPN 30 for 30.

Commercial campaigns also form part of Brainz's impressive repertoire. He has worked on several significant campaigns, including those for Verizon, Mercedes Benz, Steph Curry Under Armor, and Bombay Safire.

Presently, Brainz is focusing his creative energy on film composing. Notably, he has collaborated with renowned composer Hans Zimmer on "The Amazing Spider Man", and now serves as the music composer and supervisor for the feature film "All-Star Weekend", featuring stars such as Jamie Foxx, Jeremy Piven, Robert Downey Jr., Eva Longoria, Gerard Butler, and Benicio Del Toro.

In 2018, Brainz further broadened his professional scope by becoming the music producer for the 2018 BET Awards, fortifying his presence in the Hollywood motion picture scene. That same year, Brainz and his production partners at HMG acquired a publishing catalog that received a remarkable five Grammy awards, including R&B Album of The Year and Best R&B Song of The Year for Bruno Mars' "24K Magic" and "That's What I Like", respectively.

Building on over two decades of industry experience and entrepreneurial acumen, Brainz has ventured into the tech world, designing an online music-licensing platform aimed at curating music for all media forms.

As of recent projects, Brainz is the music composer for a Netflix series, "Dad Stop Embarrassing Me", scheduled for release in 2021, and the animation feature film "Groove Tales". He has also recently signed an administrative partnership deal with BMG music Publishing.

With his diverse skills and innovative outlook, Brainz continues to break new ground in the music industry, steadily becoming a prominent figure in Hollywood's motion picture scene.
