Hogland on Platinum Singles, Making Music, and Studying Legends
Linus Höglund, or Hogland as he’s known to fans, is a name to know in the EDM scene.
He’s a hitmaker, a platinum-selling DJ, a content creator, and he’s one of my favorite people to listen to right now.
In this episode, we do a deep dive on his personal life, what it was like growing up in Stockholm, Sweden, who his role models are, sports he played growing up, and life shaping moments during his youth.
He shares how he got started as a DJ, what it looked like in the beginning dropping songs on Soundcloud, how he’s grown as an artist, and ultimately we arrive at his release, Letting Go feat. Kiddo, which caught the eye of Kygo, who then signed Hogland to his first deal.
He describes what a surreal feeling it was watching Kygo play his song in front of fans, how he dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic as a performing artist, the difference between playing festivals versus shows, his creative process, Avicii’s impact on him, his Mount Rushmore of artists, what he’s working on next, and finally, his realest talk.
It was an honor to have him on the show, he’s definitely somebody that I expect to keep blowing up and gaining more traction in the music scene, and I can’t wait until the day that I can see him live, wherever that may be.
You can follow him on Instagram @hogland, check out his work on Apple Music and Spotify, his website hoglandmusic.com, and if you enjoy this episode, please drop a rating and a review wherever you listen to podcasts, and share it with two other people. Put ‘em on. Help me grow this show and keep building up this community.
