Multi-genre producer/singer-songwriter Nick “Ras” Furlong has come a long way from the makeshift bedroom studio that fueled the music he composed for video games. Developed by OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder from 2011 until 2013, Furlong’s credits include Avicii’s "The Nights," 5SOS’ "Everything You Didn’t Say," Steve Aoiki’s "Bring You To Life," Diplo’s "No Problem," All Time Low’s "Dirty Laundry," and more. Most recently, Furlong is credited as a co-writer and the executive producer of Papa Roach’s tenth full-length album Who Do You Trust?, released on 1/18.

“My writing is reflective of my experiences, travels, emotions, and the feelings of people around me. I hope to create a sound that resonates with an audience in the same way music resonated with me,” says the Nevada native, who owns, operates, and oversees his publishing and production company, AttaBoy Music.
