"Lifechanging" Sony deal for Leeds bedroom DJ as song used to relaunch Crazy Frog

Dean Williams, 32, was an amateur producer in 2012 making music on his PC at home - without any decks or equipment.

Under his producer name of Bordum Beats, Dean created a tune named 'Skank', which slowly gained a reputation as a backing track for rappers across the country.

However, Dean didn't know how much the song's popularity would spiral out of control when TikTok sensation Bella Porch used it in a video which has now been viewed hundreds of millions of times.

Last year, Dean - originally from Beeston - was contacted by a number of record labels who wanted to buy the rights to the song for use going forward.

Dad-of-two Dean said he was offered a "life changing" amount of money by Sony and the song was signed up by the label.

A few months ago, Sony contacted Dean to tell him his backing track was due to be used within a new single for the Crazy Frog - a viral phenomenon which was being relaunched.
