Jeppe Breum Laursen is a Danish singer-songwriter and producer. Performing under the name "Senior", Laursen was the lead vocalist of the pop duo Junior Senior. In 2008, the British magazine Dazed & Confused praised Laursen's music for its "urgency and club appeal" and described it as "industrial synth-pop and bone-rattling drama".[1] His first solo release was a collaboration with American electronic music duo Classixx entitled "I'll Get You", which was released in 2009 on Kitsuné. Laursen's song "Lucky Boy" was a contender for Denmark's entry for the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest.[2] Laursen also remixed "Off Our Backs" by American electropop band MEN in 2010.[3]
Laursen co-wrote and co-produced Lady Gaga's 2011 single "Born This Way", the title track from her second studio album of the same name.[4] The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on 16 February 2011.[5]
