Jonathan Rado is an American musician, record producer and engineer, best known as a multi-instrumentalist in the indie rock duo Foxygen. Rado is a native of Westlake Village, California, where he formed Foxygen with his classmate Sam France in 2005.[1][2][3]

After releasing four albums with Foxygen, Rado began producing albums for other artists, including The Killers,[4] The Lemon Twigs, Tim Heidecker, Whitney, Alex Cameron, Father John Misty and Weyes Blood.[5] In 2018, Billboard called Rado "one of indie rock's most in-demand producers".[5] Rolling Stone called him an "analog fetishist who's become a producer of choice for a particular breed of like-minded indie-pop artists."[6]

Rado is married to singer-songwriter Jackie Cohen.[7] He also appeared in a 2008 episode of the television series Weeds[8] and a 2009 episode of the sitcom Community.[9] Rado is of Hungarian descent.[10] He studied screenwriting at the School of Visual Arts in New York.[11]
