Interview with ALLAN ESHUIJS, songwriter for Cascada, Taio Cruz, Wynter Gordon - September 6, 2010
“It’s important to work with people from the country where you want your tracks out. It’s a strategic thing.”
Fast rising Dutch songwriter Allan Eshuijs is capitalising on the international success of co-write ‘Evacuate The Dancefloor’ by Cascada (UK No.1, Top 5 Ger, Can & Fra, USA Top 30) and the current US and UK mainstream appetite for all things Euro dance by broadening his musical horizons far beyond the lowlands.
With writes for Wynter Gordon and Booty Luv fresh in his notebook, Eshuijs talks to HitQuarters about what a songwriter needs to do to conquer the charts in a foreign land, why he left Universal to start his own publishing company, and how a pop song doesn’t need to be logical to be great.
