Cheese (music producer)

Jason Michael Goldberg, professionally known as Cheese, is an American record producer, songwriter, and audio engineer. He was a producer on YoungBoy Never Broke Again's Sincerely, Kentrell, The Last Slimeto, and From the Bayou. He also was as an engineer on Travis Scott and Kendrick Lamar's 2018 song, "goosebumps" as well as Tyler, the Creator, Ty Dolla $ign, and YoungBoy Never Broke Again's 2021 song "WusYaName".

Early life Jason Goldberg is American. He "fell in love with music as a teenager". Goldberg had later begun to study at the Institute of Audio Research and Full Sail University; while learning, Goldberg found his way into audio recording.

Career Cheese has worked with the artist and producers YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Travis Scott, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Rich The Kid, Kendrick Lamar, Pop Smoke, Tyler, the Creator, Buddah Bless and 30 Roc.

Throughout 2016, Goldberg acted as a recording engineer on Kat Dahlia's 20s, 50s, 100s. He acted as an assistant engineer on Meghan Trainor's sophomore studio album, Thank You, Fifth Harmony's sophomore studio album, 7/27, and Nick Jonas' third studio album, Last Year Was Complicated. However, Goldberg would breakout as an engineer on September 3, 2016, after he would act as an assistant engineer for Travis Scott and Kendrick Lamar’s song "goosebumps" which peaked at number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 and went eight times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Following this, Goldberg would engineer and produce tracks for rappers such as Rich The Kid, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Pop Smoke, and many more. In 2020, through Rich The Kid, Goldberg met YoungBoy Never Broke Again and acted as a producer on "Kacey Talk" and "Callin'", both of which appeared on YoungBoy's second studio album, Top. This would encourage a new relationship between the two artists, leading to Goldberg earning over twenty plaques producing for YoungBoy, with the most notable plaque he has received being for his production on YoungBoy's "Kacey Talk" which was certified 2× platinum.

In 2021, following YoungBoy being arrested and in jail during the rollout of his third album, Sincerely, Kentrell, Goldberg would be called upon by YoungBoy's management to mix and master the entirety of the album, having recorded a couple of track before YoungBoy's incarceration. After YoungBoy was released from jail a month following the album's release, Goldberg would fly out to YoungBoy's Utah home and live there, recording, mixing, and mastering all of his forthcoming projects such as From the Bayou, Colors, Better than You, Realer 2, 3800 Degrees, and Ma' I Got a Family.
