Jason "Poo Bear" Boyd (September 4, 1978) is an American songwriter, record producer, and vocal producer. He is best known for being one of Justin Bieber's main collaborators, having co-written many of Bieber's hits (including Where Are Ü Now, What Do You Mean?, PYD, Hold Tight and All That Matters), and for co-writing the song Caught Up from Usher's Diamond-certified album Confessions.
Boyd was born in 1978 in Connecticut. He moved with his mother to Atlanta at age 9, after a tornado left them homeless. His first career breakthrough came from working with R&B group 112, for whom he composed the songs Dance With Me and Peaches & Cream.
After his success with 112, in the early 2000s Boyd worked with artists Blu Cantrell and Jill Scott. In 2004, Usher's album Confessions was released, containing the single Caught Up, which Boyd co-wrote with Ryan Toby and producers Dre & Vidal. The album was certified Diamond by the RIAA, selling over 10 million copies in the US, and is largely considered as one of the best albums of the decade.Caught Up was the fifth single released from the album, peaking at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100
