THE RUNNERS

Dru and Mayne met during their elementary school years in Vero Beach, Florida. After moving to North Carolina for high school, Dru moved back to Orlando, Fl to partner with Mayne and formed the production duo, The Runners.  

Their first success came in 2005, producing "Hustlin", by Rick Ross.  Shortly afterwards, they moved to Miami, Fl and Dj Khaled became their manager.  With their unique music production sound they helped launch the Miami sound that propelled artists like Rick Ross, Dj Khaled, Flo Rida and many more into the national spotlight.  

Over the next 12 years, The Runners expanded their production to all genres and went on to produce songs for Rihanna, Usher, Chris Brown, Jon Legend, Machine Gun Kelly, Jessie Reyez and more.  

They founded the Numbers Don't Lie publishing entity in 2006, signing producers and writers like, The Monarch, Alex Delicata, and Schife. They later added to their catalog songs by Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson, Kygo, and Meek Mills.
