In the sprawling city of Los Angeles, where dreams are pursued with passion, there's a sonic revolution about to unfold. At the helm of this movement is none other than Audien, the American DJ, record producer, and musician, who has etched his name in dance music history. His upcoming concert experience, aptly named “Stay True Los Angeles”, is set to celebrate authentically creative artists while infusing the audience with irresistible positive energy. “I’ve always championed my own sound and have been looking for an opportunity to celebrate artists who have stayed true to what they believe in both sonically and artistically. When I had the opportunity to play the Torch at Los Angeles Coliseum, I had to celebrate with my friends who have always stayed true!” he says.
Audien, known for his love for the community, understands the power of music in uniting people from all walks of life. "I believe that my role in leading the 'Progressive House Never Died' movement and my continued dedication to cultivating a supportive community with other artists and my fans is a story worth sharing with the world," he says, with a glimmer of excitement shining in his eyes.
Reflecting on his journey, Audien's pride in his growth as an artist is palpable. From his humble beginnings as a devoted fan of electronic dance music to his meteoric rise, he has left an indelible mark. The 2015 Grammy Nomination for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical for his remix of "Pompeii" and his chart-topping hit, "Something Better", that dominated Billboard's Dance Club Songs Chart stand as cherished milestones along his path.
Now, as the curtains rise on the “Stay True Los Angeles” concert experience, Audien is ready to champion his unique sound and honor those artists who stayed true to their artistic and sonic visions. The Torch at Los Angeles Coliseum, an iconic and historic venue, provides the perfect stage for this celebration. "It's really a dream come true," Audien exclaims, his voice filled with a mix of disbelief and gratitude. "To play at a venue that has hosted the Olympics three times is truly an honor."
With his latest release, "Would You Even Know”, a collaboration with William Black, Audien showcases the magic that happens when two artists committed to their authentic sounds collide. The result is a genre-defying masterpiece that defies classification. "William's a great guy, and Tia's the songstress we needed for it," Audien praises, his excitement evident in every word.
Looking ahead, Audien reveals that he and his team have a treasure trove of incredible music and shows lined up for the rest of the year. A tantalizing promise of a potential album lingers in the air, fueling anticipation among his fans. “We have a lot of incredible music and shows up our sleeve for the rest of the year. There might even be an album on the horizon,” he shares. For Audien, the future of the dance music space lies in unity and grandiose experiences. "Bigger moments, bigger fan experiences, and more people producing in this space," he envisions.
