This breakthrough moment “is 12 years in the making,” says David Stewart, who produced and co-wrote the record-breaking “Dynamite”

was on the hunt, prowling for a new single. “It was a bit of a holy grail cut,” says the English writer-producer David Stewart. “I had quite a few conversations with big producers and writers in America who were trying to get it.”

Stewart ended up winning the BTS lottery along with Jessica Agombar: The pair penned “Dynamite,” the K-Pop septet’s first all-English-language single. The lite-funk track, complete with scrubbing rhythm guitar and stabbing horns, set several streaming records within 24 hours of its release. While this commercial enthusiasm is typical for BTS, it remains “totally and utterly wild” for Stewart, who spent more than a decade in supporting roles on the road and in studios before earning his breakout moment. “I made that song out of my bedroom in my parents’ house; I didn’t do it in the flashy studio with a big console,” he says. “This is 12 years in the making, me in my bedroom just working.

Long before he was writing YouTube record-breakers, Stewart was steeped in the entertainment business: His father acted and sang, his mother acted before starting a hospitality company that worked with major tours. After “living in theaters from a young age,” Stewart broke into the music industry as a session guitarist, and played more than 500 shows with Example, the English singer-rapper-producer who was a constant presence on the U.K. dance charts in the early 2010s.

He deserves this attention. He helped to create a bop.

I know people are mad that every bts's success is labelled to a white man who apparently had a name somewhere but guys this article at least is much better than those. It is about an songwriter getting promotion bcus of bts and the man is very respectful towards bts+

When we get the second number 1 you better do a feature.. bts_twt

Can you like interview BTS on their production and songwriting.. those boys have done a lot on all of their albums it would be an interesting video.

armymomsf We love to see it💜 but after new amazing heights, we would really love to see BH in house prod/wrts be recognized in this way. The humility from that them and BH could never allow for them to do it independently but maybe seeking them out is the way. No hate for dstewartmusic

Y'all should interviews avengers team on bighit they're the producer and song writer like pdogg slowrabbit adora and hissnoise

Please do this for the songs BTS members write too . There are plenty where at least one member has involved in the writing process and in singles too and yet I've never seen something like this for them... Don't get me wrong I am happy for David Steward but BTS deserve this too

we wanna hear what pdogg has to say!!!!!!

scratches ass

Que bien pero... Cuando entrevistaran a BTS y a todo su EQUIPO COREANOA CLARO NO LES CONVIENE BTS_twt

This guy is a gem ☺️

Stewart says. “It’s mind boggling to me that something so big can come from something so modest.” Always BTS

bts_bighit BigHitEnt we want these types of interviews for the in-house producers too!!!

Congrats to dstewartmusic but wish we could get this kinda in-depth interview with other veteran songwriters and producers who are Asian/POC.

i’d love to hear a well thought out interview with bts members about their song writing process 🤗💜💖💕

or maybe cover bts themselves since they made the song and many albums or is it this hard to reach them?

why dont yall ever interview bts when they write their own music like this?

Where was the interview for bts members and pdogg for producing and writing the entirety of their song. No white producer is capable of producing a song like black sawn. Nothing against dstewartmusic but the industry xenophobic

The BTS members themselves are songwriters and producers, they have been working on their owns songs for years, when will you write about them? We didn't support the song just because white people wrote it, we support BTS for the hard work they've been doing for more than 7 years

Not meaning to offend Mr Stewart, but I’m waiting for when y’all are gonna give this same energy to the 3 rappers of BTS who have done this for 7+ years (2 of them 10+ years), with more in-depth and sophisticated lyrics and production...

Entreviste os produtores fixos da Big Hit: Bang PD, PDDog, Slow Rabbit, SUGA, RM, J Hope, El Capitxn, Supreme Boy, ADORA e outros .... O BTS gravou Dynamite porque antes se destacou com as músicas produzidas por esses aqui. Valorizem também!!

Can we PLEASE get an interview with their long time collaborators like pdogg, slow rabbit, docskim, adora...so much talent housed there and no one is interviewing them. It’s an untapped house of talent a lot of us are interested in

We get ok we do😭😭😭 good for him but it’s getting too much😭😭😭😭 I really dnt see any other hit song’s writers get this much spotlight unless they’re whites who contributed to a successful bts track😭😭😭😭😭

The in-house bts producers interviews. Quickly.

Interview pdogg, slow rabbit and Adora next

bts' inhouse producers like Pdogg, Slowrabbit, hitman bang and bts themselves have produced so much great music. When are we gonna get to read about their process?

this was nice but for their next upcoming album i want y'all to interview the bts members themselves about the artistic process behind their work

maybe you could start interviewing BTS and their in-house producers too.......just an idea..........

When are y'all gonna start interviewing BTS, and their in-house producers? They all do the same job, but y'all always only talking to everyone about their music and input.

do BTS_twt and pddogg next, thanks

Here is the next big producer y’all, get ready for the dstewartmusic domination!! Stream the last songs he produced : Dynamite by BTS_twt and DoubleLife by MarinaKayeMusic ❤️

_jimintoday_ Congrats. Although I’m waiting for next cb and BTS writing cause their music = my happiness
