Asheton Terrance O'Neil Hogan, also known as PLUSS and A+, is an American songwriter and record producer, best known for his work with Lil Wayne ("Love Me"), Beyoncé ("Formation"), and Kendrick Lamar ("Humble"). He has won a Grammy Award from five nominations.[2]

Growing up in Atlanta, Georgia, Hogan showed an early interest in music production, and formally entered the music industry at the behest of childhood friend Mike Will Made It, who had himself began production work for local artists.[3][4] His first major credit was Lil Wayne's 2013 single "Love Me". Hogan has continued to work with other acts, including Nicki Minaj, Chloe x Halle, Rae Sremmurd, Lecrae, and Ty Dolla Sign among others, and has served an in-house producer with Mike Will Made It's EarDrummers Records.[5][6]
