Ahead of the Music Business Worldwide A&R Awards on 7 November, we’re taking a closer look at the fantastic nominees for Producer of the Year.

In what is our seventh year of association with the awards celebrating the UK's best A&RS, labels, publishers, managers, songwriters and producers, we're proud to again support the Producer of the Year category and the amazing group of nominees including Billen Ted, Catherine Marks, Fred Again.., Jae5, Lostboy, Mark Ralph, Mark Ronson, P2J, PRGRSHN, Steve Mac, Kid Harpoon and TMS.

Next up is London-based writer/producer Lostboy.

The 29-year old has become one of the most globally in demand writer/producers of recent times, cementing his reputation over the last year with his work on Calvin Harris’ latest UK Number One single Miracle, alongside the billion streaming Tiesto single The Motto and follow-up Top 10 hit 10:35 with Tate McRae

Further releases include singles with Ava Max (Million Dollar Baby, Dancing’s Done), Kylie Minogue (Padam Padam), Ellie Goulding, Zedd/Kehlani and Bebe Rexha amongst others. First discovered by Grammy winning producer Fraser T Smith (Adele, Stormzy), Lostboy quickly developed to become the creative force behind two recent UK breakout artsists, Griff and Tom Grennan, and has since worked with Lewis Capaldi, Sabrina Carpenter, Rita Ora and K-Pop stars IVE. Versatile across all major genres, Lostboy’s key collaborators include Michael Pollack, Amy Allen, Cirkut, Caroline Ailin, Plested, Rami Yacoub and David Stewart.
