With so much great music in the K-Pop industry, there also inevitably has to be a lot of great producers and songwriters responsible for them.
Many come to mind such as Teddy Park, JYP, Brave Brothers, Shinsadong Tiger, and etc.
One in particular that you really should be aware of is MOONSHINE, a production duo consisting of Jonatan Gusmark and Ludvig Evers, who are under EKKO Music Rights.
The multi-platinum track-makers have made quite a name for themselves among not just industry professionals but also fans as well.
Based in Stockholm, Sweden, it doesn’t come as a surprise that they’re one of the most sought-after producers hailing from the nation, as Sweden is home to many world-class musicians and producers.
The pair met while studying music at a school known as Musikmakarna, in northern Sweden. Ludvig specializes in synth and R&B music while Jonatan has a more house, dub-step, and trap sound.
MOONSHINE has stated that they have a liking towards K-Pop especially because it allows them to be experimental to a certain extent, without any boundaries, yet still remain true to the pop formula. This may explain why the pair are always able to come up with the freshest sounds that are still yet familiar and mainstream.
In a relatively short period of time, the duo has produced a list of K-Pop smashes.
Below are some of their greatest hits.
