Ian Eric Kirkpatrick (born September 20, 1982) is an American record producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. He has produced and written music for many high-profile artists such as Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Dua Lipa, Jason Derulo, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Nick Jonas, Pitbull, Selena Gomez, Shakira, and The Chainsmokers. [1] [2] Kirkpatrick's writing catalogue includes songs which have amassed over a billion streams individually on streaming platform Spotify. [3]
Kirkpatrick is managed by Dan Petel of This Is Noise Management. [4]
Kirkpatrick identifies as an “Irish Moroccan Jew” due to his mother's Casablanca roots and his father's Irish origins [5]
Kirkpatrick grew up in Encino, Los Angeles. He was first introduced to music at the age of 5 years, when he received a drum set for his birthday. Throughout his teenage years, Kirkpatrick played in some small bands in junior high and high school. [4] He briefly studied economics at the University of California, Santa Cruz while simultaneously producing music, before pursuing music full-time. [5]
In 1997, the Aphex Twin song " Girl/Boy Song" drove Kirkpatrick to use computerised production methods to make similar electronic music. [6] At the start of his career, Kirkpatrick started a recording studio in the garage of Petel's parents where he recorded for local bands before moving to bands on labels such as Hollywood Records, Fearless Records and Drive-Thru Records. [4]
Initially, Kirkpatrick also produced music for Warped Tour groups such as Breathe Carolina, Neon Trees, Young the Giant, and the Plain White T’s, before signing a publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music. [6]
Kirkpatrick’s early success as a producer led to him co-writing with other songwriters and musical artists. In 2015, he met major breakthrough with writing and production involvement in singer Jason Derulo's “ Want to Want Me” and went on to collaborate with singer Selena Gomez starting in 2017. [4]
Kirkpatrick has incorporated the Steinberg Cubase into his production workflow, a tool he has used on production titles such as Dua Lipa's " Don't Start Now". [7] He is able to play keys and guitar, but expresses more familiarity in drums. [4] He cites Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, and Autechre as some of his artistic influences. [6] He is based in Los Angeles. [4]
