Beneath the jackhammer beats and the candy-coated wizardry of modern pop music, there exists the alchemy of compelling words and undeniable music. Evan "Kidd" Bogart breathes life into the souls of songs. A roster of platinum artists including Adam Lambert, Pussycat Dolls, Leona Lewis, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, Natasha Bedingfield, Girls' Generation, Ke$ha, Sean Kingston, Rihanna and Beyonce -- whose "Halo," co-written by Bogart and Ryan Tedder, became a Grammy-winning smash -- bears witness to the power of this authenticity.

More recently, Bogart lent his songwriting talents to the Hot Chelle Rae hit "Tonight Tonight" and Jason Derulo's "It Girl".
