Born Alessandro Lindblad in Stockholm Sweden, Alesso quickly gained mainstream recognition
for his remixes of Tiësto, Swedish House Mafia, and Avicii before becoming a household name
for his own productions. Upon the release of just his second single, 2012’s “Calling (Losing My
Mind)” with Swedish House Mafia’s Sebastian Ingrosso and OneRepublic frontman Ryan
Tedder, he was certified 2X Platinum in Sweden while also reaching no. 1 on Billboard’s US Hot
Dance Club Songs. In 2014, he went Platinum in the U.S. with “Heroes (we could be)” featuring
Tove Lo. His 2014 album Forever, hit #1 on Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums and #30
on the Billboard 200. Since his debut, Alesso has proven that his music can seamlessly cross
over into countless genres – to that end, he’s collaborated with such eclectic artists as Katy
Perry, OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder, Calvin Harris, Tove Lo, Liam Payne, James
Bay, Marshmello, Swedish House Mafia’s Sebastian Ingrosso, Hailee Steinfeld, Florida Georgia
Line, Anitta, and more. On Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, his massive breakup
anthem “Let Me Go” — a collaboration with Hailee Steinfeld and Florida Georgia Line
— reached No. 9, while “Is That For Me” peaked at No. 25.

In 2020, Alesso released a pair of hit singles: “Midnight” featuring Liam Payne and “THE END”
with goth-pop singer/songwriter Charlotte Lawrence. Soon after, he dropped his cosmic love
ballad “Chasing Stars (with Marshmello feat. James Bay),”the dynamic “Rescue Me (with Danna
Paola)” from the Blade Runner Black Lotus soundtrack, and his winter floor-filler “Somebody To
Use.”

To cap off 2021, Alesso made his NFT debut with the Cosmic Genesis collection and dropped
“When I’m Gone” — his colossal collaboration with Katy Perry. This primed fans for his 2022
releases including “Words,” a smash crossover hit with Zara Larsson, which was hailed by
BILLBOARD as the top dance song of 2022. It even spawned an EP of remixes featuring artists
like Chapter & Verse, Sentinel, Arodes, and Majestic. Alesso followed that up with the Sentinel-
assisted house anthem “Only You” and “Dark,” an atmospheric track created for THE
BATMAN movie. He finished out the year with “We Go Out,” an ecstatic dance track created
with Sick Individuals. To date, Alesso has performed at international festivals ranging from
Tomorrowland to Ultra Music Festival to Electric Daisy Carnival, with his national TV experience
including closing out GMA’s Summer Concert Series, performing on “The Late Show with
James Corden,” taking the stage at the AMAs and making his “Saturday Night Live” debut in
January 2022 with Katy Perry.

Over the last few years, Alesso has generated nearly 1B views on TikTok videos featuring his
songs and over 2M followers on Instagram. He’s landed 3 songs (“Let Me Go,” “Heroes,” and
“When I’m Gone”) on the Billboard Hot 100, and now also has over 16M followers across
various social media platforms. Alesso continually pushes the boundaries with his ever-evolving
sound, proving that his impact will remain as timeless as his music for generations to come.
