Jeff bhasker biography

You might not know his name, but you know these songs: “We Are Young,”“All of the Lights,”“Locked Out of Heaven,” “Run This Town,” “Holy Ground,”“Girl on Fire,” “Find Your Love,” “Party” … And that’s the short list.

Unlike other marquee producers — Dr. Luke, Timbaland, Max Martin, The Dream — the Kansas born, New Mexico-bred producer Jeff Bhasker doesn’t have a signature sound or an outsize media profile. Instead, he’s just a guy who delivers hit after hit, a studio chameleon as at ease with Taylor Swift’s hand-strummed confessionals as he is with Kanye’s Hawaiin-compound agit-rap anthems.

Read on for a few of Bhasker’s studio tales — and tune into the Grammys on Sunday night, when he’ll be up for three prizes, including Album of the Year (for Swift’s Red), Record of the Year (for Bruno Mars’ “Locked Out of Heaven”), and Song of the Year (for Pink an Nate Ruess’ “Just Give Me a Reason.”)
