Captain Cuts is a songwriting, record production and remix team based in Los Angeles. The trio is composed of Ben Berger, Ryan McMahon and Ryan Rabin, drummer and producer of the band Grouplove. Together they have produced and written songs for artists such as Walk the Moon ("Shut Up and Dance"), Grouplove ("Tongue Tied"), Tove Lo, The Chainsmokers, American Authors, Smallpools, Halsey, Bebe Rexha, and Marina and the Diamonds, among others.
In December 2013, they signed a joint venture deal with Warner Bros Records to form Cuts Records, a record label through which to sign, produce and develop new artists.
In 2016, they signed a record deal with Epic Records as artists and released their first single "Love Like We Used To" on October 14.
Berger, McMahon and Rabin grew up in Los Angeles, going to the same high school and involved in the music scene. They first wrote together several years later, and when their creative dynamic felt natural after the first song, they continued working together, eventually forming Captain Cuts and becoming long-term collaborators.
