Kurstin in 2017

American record producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Greg Kurstin has written, produced, engineered, and performed on albums and tracks for a wide range of recording artists, spanning from pop, rock, to indie, jazz and Christmas music. In addition, he has written and produced records as Action Figure Party and as part of the musical duos Geggy Tah and the Bird and the Bee.^[1]

Immediately after graduating from The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York City, Kurstin relocated to his hometown Los Angeles and collaborated with singer-songwriter Tommy Jordan to form Geggy Tah. In 1993, Geggy Tah signed to David Byrne's Luaka Bop label. They released three studio albums:Grand Opening (1994), Sacred Cow (1996), and Into the Oh (2001). In 1999, Kurstin was signed to Verve Records and released an eponymous album under a pseudonymous name, Action Figure Party. Since their first release in 2006, the Bird and the Bee have released four albums and four EPS.^[2][3]

In the early 2000s, Kurstin began to write and produce tracks for recording artists and bands including Peaches, All Saints, P!nk, the Flaming Lips, Kylie Minogue and Lily Allen. He won three Ivor Novello Awards for his work on Allen's double-platinum It's Not Me, It's You. Kurstin has been nominated for Grammy Awards twice in the Producer of the Year category (2010 and 2014) and was nominated for Record of the Year and Song of the Year for Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" in 2011 and for Record of the Year for Sia's "Chandelier" in 2014. He was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award in 2014.^[4][1][5]

Among others, he has worked with Adele, Beck, Ellie Goulding, Sia, the Shins, and Tegan and Sara.^[6][7][8] He co-wrote and produced three songs on the Adele album 25, including its first single,"Hello," released in 2015.^[9]
