Career

Cutfather is perhaps best known for his remix of "Return of the Mack" by Mark Morrison (1996), and the song "Superstar" recorded by Christine Milton (2002) and Jamelia (2003). [1]

Cutfather has previously worked with Joe Belmaati in the songwriting and production team Cutfather & Joe. [2] [ better source needed ] As part of the Cutfather & Joe partnership, he wrote, produced and remixed for Peter Andre, Another Level, Damage, Lighthouse Family, Ace of Base, Westlife, Blue, Jamelia, Shayne Ward, Lee Ryan, Lemar, Blazin' Squad and Kylie Minogue.

Cutfather has also worked with Danish producer Jonas Jeberg. Together they wrote and produced for the Pussycat Dolls, Kylie Minogue, Pixie Lott, the Wanted, JLS, Jessica Mauboy, Claire Richards, and Jordin Sparks. In 2004, Cutfather received a prestigious Ivor Novello songwriting award for Best Performing song, for his composition "Superstar" by Jamelia (which he also co-produced), which was the most performed song in the United Kingdom that year. [3]

In 2015, "Up", performed by Olly Murs featuring Demi Lovato, written and produced alongside Daniel Davidsen and Peter Wallevik, became an international hit. [4]
