Since then, he has built an extraordinary international career, collaborating with artists such as Madonna, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Charli XCX, Ellie Goulding, Diplo, Swedish House Mafia and Ghost.

His songwriting and production credits include standout tracks like “Punkrocker” (Teddybears featuring Iggy Pop), Charli XCX’s “Speed Drive,” Robyn’s “Call Your Girlfriend” and “Be Mine!,” as well as Britney Spears’ “Piece of Me.” He is also a key writer and producer for Ghost, contributing to the band’s global success, including a Grammy Award win and Grammy nominations.
