Biografía
It would be very easy to cry nepotism when you hear that Sebastian Ingrosso’s father owned two record labels and has been creating music since the age of 14 for that very reason. However, while the key phrase in the music industry might be “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know”, and having famous relatives might help you notch a few hits, it doesn’t always equal longevity. Berry Gordy’s own son Kennedy started a music career under the name Rockwell and couldn’t catch a second hit after “Somebody’s Watching Me”, and even that was only a hit because Michael Jackson sang its hook.
So even though Ingrosso had access to resources that others could only dream of due to who he was born to, nobody gets a lasting career in music, let alone one that lasts for over fifteen years and counting, for that reason alone. Ingrosso has a career because few artists like him are as fine with a melody as he is, and that was the case from the start, at the age of 16 Ingrosso had his first official remix released by Mega Records. For the first decade of the 21st century he was one of the most in demand producers and remixes in Europe, the kind of remixer so good that labels would find his bootleg remixes just to release them officially.
By 2004 he’d teamed up with fellow Swede Steve Angello to remix, produce and collaborate, and by 2008 the duo had added Axwell to their ranks to create the Swedish House Mafia. From then until they split in 2013 they had a fighting chance of being the biggest DJ’s in the world, working with the likes of Pharrell and Tinie Tempah while headlining stadium level venues like Milton Keynes’ National Bowl all around the world. Since that group split, Ingrosso has juggled working as a producer with working as the head of A&R for his own label, Refune Records, and was able to headline the Governor’s Ball Music Festival in New York with his old House Mafia Cohort Axwell with a set composed almost entirely of unreleased music, such was their drawing power.
Sebastian Ingrosso is one of the world’s leading DJ’s, absolutely streets ahead of the pack and has been ever since he started. He’s not going anywhere for a very long time and so any fan of electronica would do very well to see him live as soon as possible. Highly recommended.

DJing is something few people can do but millions can appreciate. Sebastian Carmine Ingrosso has taken the act of the disk jockey to an entirely new level in the eyes of many since learning how to make music as a teenager. Developing his aptitude for creation from such a young age could be the reason behind him winning an award for the highest new entry into DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJ list in 2009. A feat made all the more awe-inspiring by the fact that his record has only been beaten by one other – the notorious Deadmau5. Ingrosso was a member of the electronic dance supergroup Swedish House Mafia, whose most successful single “Don’t You Worry Child” topped the charts in Sweden, Australia and the UK. He is also a credited music producer, working on singles such as will.i.am’s “This Is Love” and Usher’s “Euphoria”. But none of this compares to the incredible atmosphere at one of his live sets. Not one member of the crowd is still or quite as Ingrosso flawlessly transitions from one song to the next. It’s impossible to tell one body from another as limbs flail all over the shop while they get lost in the music – quite literally, due to the fog emerging from the smoke machine and the stunning lights display. At the end of his set, it would appear that no one is as exhausted as Ingrosso after pouring everything he had into his music and charismatic dance moves. Ingenious spinning, captivating production and vigorous dancing…what more could you want?
