Hi, does anyone know who John Reid is?

I've noticed he writes with Jorgen Elofsson on a few songs for the Idols
Eg A Moment Like This and Angels Brought Me Here

Anyway, I was just curious about him, anyone know anything?

Jhon reid is a scottish producer. He was born 6 september 1967.Nightcrawlers is a house music project assembled by producer, DJ and vocalist John Reid.His 1993 dance song "Push the Feeling On" is considered today to be a classic track of the house music genre. In its original form the song hit #7 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart and briefly crossed over to pop radio, peaking at #80 on the Hot 100, spending fifteen weeks on the chart. It also reached #3 in the UK in 1995, Reid's biggest hit in his homeland.

In 2004, thanks to new remixes of the track, it re-entered the US dance chart, this time hitting #1.

Other successful singles by The Nightcrawlers were: "Surrender Your Love" (UK #7), "Don't Let The Feeling Go" (UK #13), "Let's Push It" (UK #23) feat. John Reid and Zeeteah Massiah as vocalists and "Push That Feeling On" (UK Indie #26)

John Reid is a successful songwriter in his own right having written a chart-topping UK single for Westlife (Unbreakable) and also songs for the likes of Tina Turner and Rod Stewart.

John Reid is a close friend of Simon Cowell and he co-wrote the Kelly Clarkson and Leona Lewis hit "A Moment Like This" with Jörgen Elofsson.

Goodnight REB. ;)

Good question.

I notice him very randomly every now and then, I wonder how Jörgen and him have found together.

And I liked it..
