Shahid Khan (Urdu: شاهد خان; born 1 January 1981), better known by his stage name Naughty Boy, is a Pakistani-English DJ, record producer, music programmer, and songwriter. In 2012, Khan signed a three-year publishing deal with Sony ATV, as well as a recording contract with Virgin EMI Records to release his debut studio album, Hotel Cabana (2013). The album was supported by the singles "Wonder" (featuring Emeli Sandé), "Lifted" (featuring Sandé), and "La La La" (featuring Sam Smith); the latter peaked atop the UK singles chart while the album peaked at number two on the UK Albums Chart.
Naughty Boy and Sandé later formed a writing and production partnership, leading her to sign with Virgin and EMI as a recording artist. Sandé was then named Rising Star at the 2012 BRIT Awards, and released her debut studio album Our Version of Events (2012), a set largely produced by Naughty Boy. He spent 2011 and 2012 working on releases for Leona Lewis, JLS, Cheryl, Jennifer Hudson, Alesha Dixon and Tinie Tempah, among others.
On 19 October 2013, Naughty Boy's "La La La" won "Best Song" and "Best Video" at the 18th Annual MOBO Awards.[1]
