Hire: Alesso
Alesso (Alessandro Lindblad) is a Swedish DJ, record producer, and songwriter, known for his contributions to progressive house music and electronic dance music (EDM). Born on July 7, 1991, in Stockholm, Sweden, Alesso developed an early interest in music, playing piano as a child before transitioning to electronic music production in his teenage years. His rise to prominence in the EDM scene began around 2010, with his signature melodic style and dynamic production gaining attention from major figures in the industry.
Early Life and Career Beginnings
Alesso grew up in a musical household, with influences ranging from classical music to contemporary pop. He was particularly inspired by Swedish house music legends like Swedish House Mafia and Eric Prydz. His first notable recognition came when Sebastian Ingrosso, a member of Swedish House Mafia, discovered his work. Ingrosso mentored Alesso, signing him to his record label, Refune Music, in 2010. This partnership helped Alesso hone his craft and gain early visibility in the EDM world.

Breakthrough (2011–2013)
Alesso’s breakthrough came in 2011 with the release of his remix of Nadia Ali’s “Pressure,” which became an anthem in the EDM scene. The track showcased his ability to blend uplifting melodies with driving basslines, a formula that would define much of his future work.
In 2012, he collaborated with Sebastian Ingrosso and vocalist Ryan Tedder for the track “Calling (Lose My Mind),” which became a massive hit and helped solidify Alesso‘s reputation on the global stage. The same year, he was named one of MTV’s EDM Artists to Watch.
Alesso followed up this success with tracks like “Years,” featuring Matthew Koma, and remixes for major artists like David Guetta, Tiesto, and Avicii. His ability to balance mainstream appeal with festival-ready anthems made him a favorite in both club settings and at large festivals like Ultra Music Festivala and Tomorrowland.
Global Success (2014–2016)
In 2014, Alesso signed with Def Jam Recordings, a rare move for an EDM artist at the time, signaling his crossover into mainstream pop music. His debut album, “Forever,” was released in 2015 and featured hits like “Heroes (We Could Be)” with Tove Lo and “Cool” with Roy English. The album showcased his ability to collaborate with vocalists and bridge the gap between EDM and pop music. “Heroes” became a multi-platinum hit in several countries, including the U.S., further cementing his status as a global star.
Continued Evolution (2017–Present)
After the release of “Forever,” Alesso continued to evolve his sound, experimenting with new styles while maintaining his melodic roots. He collaborated with a wide range of artists across genres, from Liam Payne on the single “Midnight” to Latin music stars like Anitta on the 2019 track “Is That for Me.” He also worked with Calvin Harris and Usher on “Under Control.”
Alesso‘s versatility allowed him to stay relevant in a rapidly changing musical landscape. While he remained a fixture in the festival circuit, performing at Coachella, EDC, and Lollapalooza, he also found success in the pop world. In 2021, he collaborated with Katy Perry on the track “When I’m Gone,” further expanding his reach into mainstream pop audiences.
Style and Influence
Alesso is known for his uplifting, melodic style, often blending euphoric melodies with progressive house beats. His music has been described as emotional and atmospheric, with an emphasis on creating anthemic tracks that resonate with festival audiences. His early works in progressive house and electro-house laid the foundation for his sound, but over the years, he has experimented with elements of pop, future bass, and even Latin music.
Alesso cites Swedish House Mafia, Daft Punk, and Avicii as major influences, and his music has often drawn comparisons to these pioneers of the genre. His ability to blend pop sensibilities with EDM production has made him a key figure in the commercial success of electronic music.
Personal Life and Philanthropy
Though relatively private about his personal life, Alesso has used his platform to support various charitable causes. He has been involved in initiatives to support mental health awareness, a cause important to many in the music industry, especially in the often-high-pressure world of touring and live performances.
