What Do You Bring to The Table? Episode 10: Savan Kotecha

About this Video

"ARIANA & USHER & ONE DIRECTION" Savan Kotecha is the most successful Indian American musician you’ve never heard of. He is a songwriter and record producer whose hits have sold over 300 million copies. He has worked with everybody from Madonna to… do I really need to finish that sentence? I think Madonna’s pretty much the top. Kotecha’s hits include: “Problem” by Ariana Grande “Can’t Feel My Face” by The Weeknd “Love Me Like You Do” by Ellie Goulding “DJ Got Us Fallin’ in Love” by Usher “One More Night” by Maroon 5 “What Makes You Beautiful” by One Direction I discovered Kotecha as he was mentioned in a book called "The Song Machine" by John Seabrook. I posted on Facebook to see if anyone could connect me with him. Lo and behold, somebody tagged Sonia, his sister, who then emailed her brother. I drove over to his West Hollywood home and he agreed to appear on my show. (I mean, I went by myself and then scheduled it with him. I didn’t just show up with my crew. I told him I needed One More Night.)
