Former Nickelodeon Producer Dan Schneider and music producer Dr Luke aka Lukasz Gottwald worked together and had connection when producing and writing music for Nickelodeon. ⬇️
Dr. Luke has been under allegations of for sexual assault, sexual harassment, and gender violence from pop star Kesha since 2014.
Dan Schneider and people associated worked with Dr. Luke on several occasions in 2010.
Victoria Justice the star of Nickelodeons “Victorious” did the theme song “Make It Shine” written by Dan Schneider and produced by Dr. Luke.
Another Nickelodeon star who worked with him was Miranda Cosgrove on her debut album “Sparks Fly”.
He wrote and produced the lead single “Kissin U”. Miranda was 16 years old when she was given the song to record.
Kesha wrote over 200 songs for her debut album “Animal”. Her 2009 demo song “Disgusting” was sold to Miranda Cosgrove for “Sparks Fly”. Dr.Luke worked as a producer on both albums.
Kesha sued Dr.Luke in 2014 stating she had little creative control of her music.
Kesha’s 2012 album “Warrior” aimed for a 70’s rock sound but suffered from her lack of creative control and conflict with Dr.Luke.
The pop-rock song “WooHoo” was sold off the album to Nickelodeon’s Big Time Rush. With rewritten lyrics, the single was released as “Windows Down”.
Dr.Luke’s connection with Dan Schneider & Nickelodeon led him to have Kesha guest star in an episode of “Victorious”. In the episode, Kesha is shown portraying a ‘sleazy party girl’ act with an alcohol bottle. She was also stylized wearing decorative ammunition on the kids' show.
Jennette McCurdy and Avan Jogia have spoken about alcoholism on the sets of “iCarly” and “Victorious”. Kesha was present for this as a guest star on "Ice Cream for Ke$ha", the Victorious episode.
Aside from her guest appearance, Kesha’s unreleased music from “Animal” was used as backtracks in multiple “Victorious” episodes without being credited.
In 2016 Ariana Grande, who played Cat Valentine on “Victorious”, retracted her tribute to Dr. Luke amidst the #FreeKesha movement & lawsuit.
Ariana Grande’s tribute was tweeted during her time at Nickelodeon when Dr.Luke & Dan Schneider actively worked together.
Ariana Grande publicly supported Kesha stating she 'wasn’t worried about speaking out.'
The two co-wrote for Ariana Grande’s debut album “Yours Truly” but only released “Pink Champagne” as a YouTube VEVO release in 2014 before the lawsuit.
Sony Music offered Kesha freedom from having to contractually work with her abuser Dr.Luke only if she took her claims back. Similarly, Nickelodeon offered Jennette McCurdy $300,000 in hush money to stay quiet about her experiences with Dan Schneider and the studio.
