LOSTBOY
PRODUCER / SONGWRITER
LA-based UK writer producer Lostboy has become one of the most globally in-demand creatives of recent times, cementing his stellar reputation by winning the 2024 Grammy Award for Dance/Pop production for Kylie Minogue’s cultural landmark single Padam Padam. This success followed on from a run of hits which include Calvin Harris’ single Miracle (UK Number One for 8 weeks in 2023), the billion streaming Tiesto track The Motto and follow-up Top 10 hit 10.35, and more recently releases with Tate McRae (2 hands), Rosé (Messy/F1 soundtrack), and further tracks with Jung Kook, Ava Max, Sabrina Carpenter and Zedd/Kehlani. This consistently outstanding output led to him winning the UK A&R Awards Songwriter Of The Year award for 2023. First discovered by Grammy winning producer Fraser T Smith (Adele, Stormzy), Lostboy quickly developed to become the creative force behind a number of UK breakout artists including Griff, and has since worked with Lewis Capaldi, Ellie Goulding, Madison Beer and K-Pop stars IVE, TWICE and Enhyphen. Versatile across all major genres, Lostboy’s key collaborators include Michael Pollack, Amy Allen, Cirkut, Caroline Ailin, Ryan Tedder and David Stewart.
