Jonathan Rado is an American producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist known for his work with Miley Cyrus, The Killers, Weyes Blood, Father John Misty, and others.
Raised in Westlake Village, California, Rado co-founded the indie rock duo Foxygen with classmate Sam France in 2005. The pair's home-recorded albums, including We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic and Hang, earned them a devoted following. He has also released three solo albums: Law and Order, Born to Run, and For Who the Bell Tolls For.
Working out of his Los Angeles studio, Dream Star, Rado moved into producing for other artists with Whitney's Light Upon the Lake and The Lemon Twigs' Do Hollywood. Billboard went on to describe him as one of indie rock's most in-demand producers, with records such as Father John Misty's God's Favorite Customer, Weyes Blood's Titanic Rising and And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow, and albums for Alex Cameron, Crumb, and Tim Heidecker.
Rado has since brought his sound to a wider stage, co-producing The Killers' Imploding the Mirage and Pressure Machine, contributing to Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus's "II Most Wanted", and producing, co-writing, and performing across Miley Cyrus's Something Beautiful alongside Shawn Everett.
