Mini bio
How it started.
Born Nadir Khayat in Tétouan, Morocco, RedOne moved to Sweden at 19, drawn by ABBA, Europe and Roxette. Darin’s Step Up gave him a Swedish chart success in 2005, and Bamboo became the official melody of the 2006 World Cup.
The breakthrough.
His early American work included Kat DeLuna’s Whine Up. Then came Lady Gaga: together they wrote Just Dance and Poker Face, followed by Bad Romance and Alejandro. He also wrote and produced for Jennifer Lopez, Nicki Minaj and Enrique Iglesias.
His own voice.
In 2016 he released Don’t You Need Somebody with Enrique Iglesias, R. City, Serayah and Shaggy. Football has remained a recurring part of his work, from composing Hala Madrid y nada más for Real Madrid to producing Jung Kook’s Dreamers and collaborating with Pitbull for the 2025 Club World Cup.
