Career edit

In 2016, Hetrick was nominated for a Grammy Award for his writing and production work on the Charlie Wilson album Forever Charlie,[1] which included the songs "Unforgettable" (featuring Shaggy), "Infectious" (featuring Snoop Dogg), and the opening track "Somebody Loves You." Forever Charlie also gartered a NAACP nomination for “Outstanding Album."

In August 2016, ISINA artist New District released the single "Ain't Got Money," which Hetrick wrote and co-produced alongside industry heavyweight Randy Jackson. In December of that same year, Hetrick wrote and produced three songs on the NAACP-nominated[2] Charlie Wilson album In It To Win It, including the lead single "I'm Blessed" (featuring T.I.),[3] which went to #1 on both the Billboard R&B charts[4] and Hot Gospel charts[5] in early 2017. “I’m Blessed” was nominated for an NAACP Award for “Best Duo or Group,"[2] as well winning as an ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Award [6] for most airplay on the R&B and Gospel charts.

Charlie Wilson follow-up single "Good Time" featured Pitbull, Teddy Riley and Ray Parker Jr., to which Hetrick is also responsible for.

Hetrick has also had a string of releases with Korean, Japanese and Chinese artists like Girl's Day, A.O.A., SEEART, and the full Season 2 cast of the hit Korean-based talent show Produce 101.[citation needed] Song releases include the singles "Whatta Man (Good Man)" by I.O.I, "Can't Stop Won't Stop Loving You" by Japanese artist Daichi Miura, the self-titled single "Playback"[7] by South-Korean group Playback, and "So Beautiful"[8] by South-Korean artist Jin Won. Particularly, "It's Me (Pick Me)," a 2017 single by K-pop group Wanna One, was described as "one of the most influential and memorable K-pop songs of 2017". It later went on to become a certified platinum single.

Rounding out his 2017, the Make-a-Wish Foundation used the Madison McWilliams song "Fighter"[9] (which Hetrick co-wrote and produced) for their campaign in the Texas and Southern US regions.

In September 2018, Hetrick partnered up with End Slavery[10] to perform at their annual Voices of Freedom[11] event, in hopes of raising awareness to human trafficking and sex slavery in the state of Tennessee.

In August 2020, Hetrick wrote/produced the song "Feel It Now" (performed by the group Now United), that was used by Pepsi for their #FeelItNow & #ForTheLoveOfIt international campaign.[12] Also, in October of that same year, the Now United song "Come Together" won "Best International Hit" at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards (Meus Prêmios Nick) in Brazil.[13]

In March 2021, Now United partnered up with Kit Kat to release the songs "Turn It Up" & "Fiesta," along with accompanying limited edition bar [14] on Kit Kat's "Break Society" platform, to which Keith wrote & produced. The special edition bar reflects Now United's colors with 12 different colored fingers.

Hetrick produced the song On My Way for the 2022 Universal Pictures film Marry Me.[15]

Hetrick has had songs on ABC's The Today Show, Dancing With The Stars, NBC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, CBS's The Talk, the Netflix series Unplanned America,[16] Lifetime's UnREAL[17], MTV's Finding Carter,[18] VH1 and BET's Hit The Floor, as well commercials, local TV shows, and airliners all around the world.
