Mirwais Ahmadzaï, more commonly known as Mirwais, (1960) is a Paris-based record producer and songwriter. He was born in Switzerland to an Afghan father and an Italian mother.
He is a leader in the French style of progressive electronic dance music/progressive electronica. A former member of the defunct 1980s group Taxi Girl, he was re-discovered by Madonna in the late 1990s when he submitted a demo to her then-record label Maverick Records. He signed to Sony for the 2000 studio album release Production which included the Madonna collaboration "Paradise (Not For Me)". It also spawned two club hits, "Disco Science" and "Naive Song". The former appeared in the Guy Ritchie film Snatch. In 1996, he contributed to Quebecois singer Carole Laure's electronic-oriented album Sentiments Naturels. Madonna recruited him for writing and production collaboration on three of her studio albums; Music (2000), American Life (2003) and Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005). Credits include the title tracks from Music and American Life and the songs "Impressive Instant", "Don't Tell Me", "Hollywood", "Nobody Knows Me", "Love Profusion", "Nothing Fails" and "Paradise (Not for Me)". From Confessions On A Dance Floor, Mirwais co-produced Future Lovers, with which Madonna chose to open her 2006 Confessions Tour.
