ABOUT
A New York native bouncing around as a child between Philadelphia and New Orleans, Heist has his musical roots grounded in the hip-hop of Brooklyn, pop-rap of Philly, and jazzy R&B of NOLA. Heist grew up playing the drums and piano and has been heavily influenced by his father Michael Jurick—drummer of Ultrasound.
​
Following the connection with songwriter and producer Johnny High, the two of them collaborated on numerous tracks - Romeo, Sweet Susie, & Nuclear Weapons. Until only recently has Heist begun producing records - When I Close My Eyes, Cold Cities, & Demons, tracks that all appear on his most recent project, Ain't Right, Ain't Wrong.
