Flume

Flume, born Harley Edward Streten in Sydney, Australia, is one of the most influential electronic music producers of his generation. He burst onto the Australian music scene in 2012 with his self-titled debut album, which debuted at number one on the ARIA Albums Chart and won multiple ARIA Music Awards. The album featured a fresh, genre-defying sound that blended elements of electronic, hip-hop, and indie music, establishing him as a pioneer of what would become known as “future bass.”

His sophomore album “Skin” (2016) elevated him to global superstardom. The album won the Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album, making Flume one of the youngest artists to win in that category. Singles like “Never Be Like You” featuring Kai and “Say It” featuring Tove Lo became international hits, with “Never Be Like You” reaching the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album cemented his reputation as an innovative producer who could create commercially accessible music without sacrificing artistic integrity.

Flume continued to push boundaries with his mixtape “Hi This Is Flume” (2019), a more experimental and avant-garde project that was accompanied by a visualizer directed by Jonathan Zawada. His third studio album “Palaces” (2022) saw him collaborate with a diverse range of artists including Damon Albarn, Caroline Polachek, and Oklou. The album further demonstrated his ability to evolve his sound while maintaining the lush, textured production style that made him famous.

As one of the highest-paid DJs and electronic music producers in the world, Flume commands premium fees for festival headlining slots and club appearances globally. He has headlined major festivals including Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Splendour in the Grass. His wealth comes from a combination of touring revenue, music sales and streaming, production credits, and brand partnerships. He has also invested in various creative ventures and continues to be one of the most in-demand names in electronic music.
