TuPAW Shakur! Meet the LA hip-hop producer who makes tunes for cats, dogs and even hamsters and has become the first pet-only musician to get a multi-million-dollar record deal

A billion streams puts you in the same league as musicians including Drake, Taylor Swift and Harry Styles. But one producer has hit this milestone by focusing on four-legged, furry listeners instead of human beings. Speaking from Los Angeles, Amman Ahmed tells DailyMail.com he pioneered the idea of music for pets via a YouTube channel, playing songs and listening to dog owner feedback until he created music which genuinely relaxed the animals. He tapped into a post-pandemic trend when separation anxiety among pets got worse when animals got used to spending so much time with their working-from-home owners. The pioneering dog musician now offers dozens of playlists to relax cats and dogs, and says that his'creative process' is driven by his four-legged listeners themselves.
