Shahid Khan (born 1 January 1985),〔 known by his stage name Naughty Boy, is an English DJ, songwriter, record producer and musician. In 2012, Khan signed a three–year publishing deal with Sony ATV, as well as a recording contract to release one album under Virgin EMI Records. Khan launched himself as a record producer under the moniker "Naughty Boy" and runs his own production company called Naughty Boy Recordings. Naughty Boy has produced two top-ten records for UK rappers Chipmunk and Wiley, both featuring Emeli Sandé. Naughty Boy and Sandé later formed a writing and production partnership, leading to Sandé landing her own record deal with Virgin and EMI. Sandé went on to be named the Critics Choice for the 2012 BRIT Awards, and release her debut album ''Our Version of Events'' (2012), a record co-written/produced with Naughty Boy. Khan spent 2011 and 2012 working on records for Leona Lewis, JLS, Cheryl Cole, Jennifer Hudson, Alesha Dixon and Tinie Tempah, among others. In 2013, Naughty Boy released his debut album ''Hotel Cabana''. The set features prominent collaborator Sandé, as well as Ed Sheeran, Gabrielle and others. It was preceded by the release of the top-ten single "Wonder" (featuring Sandé), the number one hit "La La La", featuring Sam Smith and "Lifted", another collaboration with Sandé. His debut album peaked at number two in the UK. On 19 October 2013, Naughty Boy's "La La La" was awarded 'Best Song' and 'Best Video' at the MOBO Award's 18th Anniversary. == Early life == Shahid Khan was born 1 January 1985 in Watford, Hertfordshire. His parents being originally from Pakistan, Khan is of Pakistani decent. Initially Khan was studying Business and Marketing at London Guildhall University (now London Metropolitan University), but during only his first semester he decided to drop out and did various part-time jobs Dominos Pizza and Watford General hospital.〔 He "decided to follow his ambition to write and produce his own music, under the name Naughty Boy Recordings."〔 In the background, Khan was recording songs in his parents' garden shed in Charlock Way in Watford, Hertfordshire.〔 The finances allowed Khan to upscale production from the garden shed to a studio in Ealing, West London. Eventually he got a three-year contract with Sony ATV, and a one-album record deal with Virgin Records (EMI Records).〔〔 Khan applied to The Princes Trust in 2005, where he was awarded a grant of £5,000 to help start up his business. Speaking to the ''Watford Observer'' in 2009 about the opportunity, Khan said "The Prince's Trust has a scheme where they want to help people who they feel can set up their own business. I wanted to make music but I didn't have any equipment. They said they wanted to help me."〔 That same year, Khan appeared on Channel 4's hit day-time gameshow ''Deal or No Deal'', where he won £44,000, further enabling him to purchase equipment and begin recording.〔 The producer now bases his recordings at his studio in Ealing, West London.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Naughty Boy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
