French producer/songwriter SANDY VEE has garnered two Grammy® Award nominations for his contributions to both Katy Perry’s album Teenage Dream—which includes the #1 Billboard Hot 100 smash “Firework”–and Rihanna’s hit single “Only Girl (In The World).” For both artists, SANDY co-wrote and produced material with Norwegian wonderteam Stargate. Katy Perry’s album is nominated for “Album of the Year” (an artist and producer award) as well as “Best Pop Vocal Album.” Rihanna’s single “Only Girl (In The World)” is nominated for “Best Dance Recording” (an artist, producer and mixer award).
In the last few weeks since relocating from his native Paris to New York City, SANDY’s blend of melodic pop chops, studio expertise and underground aesthetics has picked up attention from many major pop stars. Recently, he found himself collaborating on new music with Kylie Minogue, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears and Nicole Scherzinger. Soon he’ll be teaming up for some studio time with Enrique Iglesias, Mike Posner and Alexandra Burke (“X Factor”).
Prior to becoming a bona fide hit craftsman, SANDY got his start as part of David Guetta’s songwriting team. Along with David, he did production work on seven songs on his groundbreaking double-platinum album One Love including “Sexy Bitch” featuring Akon. His most current works for Sean Kingston (“Sleep All Day”), Taio Cruz featuring Travie McCoy (“Higher”) and Pitbull featuring T-Pain (“Hey Baby [Drop It To The Floor]”) are just starting to percolate at radio.
