Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on December 18, 1964)

Happy Birthday, John Shanks! Another year older and still rocking harder than a Grammy-winning guitar solo. From crafting chart-topping hits for Kelly Clarkson to bringing out the best in Alanis Morissette, your musical magic has kept us humming along—and earned you that well-deserved Producer of the Year Grammy.

Whether you're fine-tuning Hilary Duff's catchy melodies or collaborating with legends like Robbie Robertson, you've proven time and again that age is just another number on Billboard charts. Here's hoping this birthday brings as much joy as your timeless tunes have brought fans worldwide—keep turning life's volume up to eleven!
