Hire: DJ Sebastian Ingrosso
Sebastian Ingrosso (born Sebastian Carmine Ingrosso on April 20, 1983) is a Swedish DJ, music producer, and record label owner. He is best known as one of the three members of the globally successful EDM group Swedish House Mafia, alongside Axwell and Steve Angello. With a career that spans over two decades, Ingrosso has been instrumental in shaping the modern electronic dance music (EDM) scene, both through his solo work and his collaborations.
Early Life and Musical Beginnings:
Sebastian Ingrosso was born in Nacka, Stockholm, Sweden, to Italian parents. Music played a significant role in his upbringing, with his father, Vito Ingrosso, being a music producer and the owner of two record labels. This early exposure to the music business and studio life provided Sebastian with a solid foundation for his future career as a DJ and producer.
By his teenage years, Ingrosso was already DJing and producing music, heavily influenced by the house and techno scenes in Stockholm. He started producing tracks when he was only 16 years old, drawing from the inspiration of both European house music and the American hip-hop and R&B scenes.
Ingrosso‘s early productions were heavily rooted in the underground house and techno sound, but he soon began experimenting with a more melodic and accessible style that would later become his signature.

Breakthrough and Early Collaborations:
Ingrosso‘s big break came in the mid-2000s when he began collaborating with fellow Swedish DJ and producer Steve Angello, a childhood friend. Together, they produced a number of successful tracks and remixes, including the hit “Tell Me Why” under their moniker Supermode in 2006. The track became a massive club hit across Europe and helped elevate Ingrosso’s reputation in the international dance music scene.
Throughout the 2000s, Ingrosso released a string of successful solo tracks and collaborations, including “Laktos” (2007) and “Umbrella” (2007), and remixed songs for well-known artists such as Justin Timberlake and Moby. He also started his own label, Refune Records, in 2003, which became a platform for his own releases as well as for showcasing new talent in the Swedish and international EDM scene.
Swedish House Mafia:
In 2008, Ingrosso, along with Steve Angello and fellow Swedish DJ Axwell, officially formed Swedish House Mafia. The trio had been friends and frequent collaborators for years, but their formal collaboration under this moniker marked the beginning of an era of massive global success. Swedish House Mafia quickly rose to prominence, becoming one of the most successful and influential acts in the EDM world.
Their breakthrough hit, “One” (2010), became a massive success and was soon followed by “Miami 2 Ibiza” and other iconic tracks like “Save the World” (2011) and “Don’t You Worry Child” (2012), which topped the charts in multiple countries. Swedish House Mafia became synonymous with the EDM festival culture, headlining major festivals like Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival, and Coachella.
During this period, Ingrosso and his bandmates helped shape the “big room” house sound that dominated the EDM scene in the early 2010s. Their high-energy performances and anthemic, uplifting tracks helped make them household names among dance music fans.
However, at the height of their fame, Swedish House Mafia announced in 2012 that they would be splitting up, with their One Last Tour culminating in a historic final performance at Ultra Music Festival in 2013.
Post-Swedish House Mafia: Solo Work and Axwell Λ Ingrosso:
Following the breakup of Swedish House Mafia, Sebastian Ingrosso continued his career with a renewed focus on solo work. In 2014, he teamed up with Axwell to form the duo Axwell Λ Ingrosso, which became one of the most successful EDM collaborations of the time. Together, they released several chart-topping hits, including:
- “Something New” (2014)
- “On My Way” (2015)
- “Sun Is Shining” (2015)
- “More Than You Know” (2017) – one of their most popular songs, which achieved multi-platinum status in numerous countries.
Axwell Λ Ingrosso performed at some of the biggest music festivals and arenas around the world, continuing the legacy of Swedish House Mafia with their powerful and euphoric sound. Their collaborations showcased the duo’s ability to balance festival-ready anthems with more melodic and pop-influenced tracks, making them favorites among both hardcore EDM fans and mainstream listeners.

The group later announced plans for new music and a series of world tours. Their reunion was met with enormous excitement from fans, who had long awaited their return.
