Career
editJon Shave is a Grammy[2] and Brit Award-winning[3] songwriter and music producer with over 21 billion cross-platform streams[4] and millions of record sales worldwide. He began his career in the early 2000s as a member of Xenomania,[4] a songwriting and production team that worked with artists such as Girls Aloud and Sugababes. In 2008, he co-founded The Invisible Men[4] with Jason Pebworth and George Astasio, former members of Orson. The group wrote and produced multi-platinum tracks for artists including Iggy Azalea ("Fancy"), DJ Fresh ("Hot Right Now" featuring Rita Ora), Zayn Malik (Mind of Mine), Britney Spears ("Pretty Girls"), and Jessie J ("Do It Like a Dude").[5]
In 2023, Jon Shave began his solo career[6] and has since co-written and produced songs for Charli XCX ("Sympathy Is a Knife", "So I", "I Think About It All the Time", "Spring Breakers"), Benjamin Ingrosso ("Kite"), Rita Ora ("Praising You"), and Loreen ("Warning Signs", "Set Me Free").[7] In 2026, his song "Weeds", performed by Sugababes, was announced as a nominee for Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically at the 71st Ivor Novello Awards[8]. He has also worked in television and film, producing two tracks for Miley Cyrus for the Black Mirror episode "Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too" and music for Belvedere's global advertising campaign featuring Daniel Craig. Jon is published by Warner Chappell Music[9] and operates from his own studio in London.[4]
