Rasheed Atkinson, is a Swedish ghost writer and record producer who has written or co-written multi platinum hits for many North American artists. He started his career as a rapper, singer and performer at the tender age of 16. He wrote and performed his music at underground and popular night clubs in Stockholm.

In 1995 Rasheed's mother, was assigned to a Diplomatic mission in the Kingdom of Sweden where Rasheed first made a name for himself and still resides today. Though reluctant to move at first due to his strong passion for music, he ultimately chose to join his mother and three siblings to Sweden. In Stockholm young Rasheed quickly became acquainted with the fact that many of the biggest names in the song writing and record production world are originally from Sweden.

With that in mind, he decided to attend a music program at one of Stockholm’s most prestigious high schools “Kungsholmen Gymnasium” so he could further educate and polish his music skills.

He began to extensively and relentlessly study the work of Sweden’s biggest and most successful songs writers and producers, drawing inspiration from music giants such as Max Martin, Rami Yacoub, Jörgen Elofsson and the late great legendary producer Dennis Pop.

At the same time he wrote and performed his music at underground and popular night clubs in Stockholm where he was discovered by the late legendary manager Glen "Bucks" Jackson.
