# Jonas Gladnikoff

Jonas Gladnikoff (born 11 January 1985) is a Swedish songwriter and music producer. Born in Täby, he began songwriting at an early age. Later in life he moved to Åland in Finland before eventually moving to Stockholm. He has written several songs for singers from across Europe, but is best known for writing entries for the Eurovision Song Contest, the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, and for various national pre-selections. He studied songwriting at the Music Production Academy Musikmakarna, graduating in 2006. He co-wrote the songs that represented Ireland in 2009, 2010 and 2014: "Et Cetera" performed by Sinéad Mulvey & Black Daisy, "It's for You", performed by 1993 Eurovision winning Niamh Kavanagh, and "Heartbeat" sung by Can-linn.
Among his entries in national pre-selections for the Eurovision Song Contest he is best known for having co-written the runner up in the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2009, the Danish final, with the song "Someday" performed by the Icelandic singer Hera Björk, which became a big hit and also won the OGAE Second Chance Contest 2009 for Denmark. Gladnikoff is a member of the jazz pop project Technicoloured Roses. In 2021 he co-wrote and produced the song Llévame al cielo released by Drag Race España host Supremme de Luxe and which was later also used as the final challenge of the first season of the show where the top four recorded their own version of the song.
