Career
Diaz became friends with fellow R&B/Hip-Hop producers Andre Eric Proctor and Brian Soko while attending university classes together in Tampa, Florida, and they decided to form production group "The Order". Their first break came when "No Worries", one of their first co-written and co-produced songs, was placed onto Lil' Wayne's 2012 mixtape Dedication 4 and was chosen as a single. [1]
