The artist’s forward-thinking approach to lift copyright restrictions on his music has led to him having been featured in 30+ million videos from a range of different content creators-collectively accounting for over 29 billion views on YouTube.

Over the years he has become one of the most top-charting acts in dance music, having had multiple singles remain in the iTunes Top 50 for over 3 years straight. He has had his music sync-to-screen for advertising giants including Coca-Cola and popular video games like the top-grossing Dota 2, Rocket League, Rolling Sky and Game For Peace and he has planted himself as the go-to-artist for Esports brands like ESL and Dreamhack.
