SUMMARY:Whethan
DESCRIPTION:For Whethan\, evolution happens in real-time. He doesn’t wait
  around or look back. Instead\, he forges ahead\, making the most of not
  only each song\, show\, and album\, but of every second\, minute\, hour
 \, and day. The gold-selling Chicago-based artist\, producer\, and remix
 er consistently canvases new creative territory from a place of pure cur
 iosity. Committed to constant perpetual motion\, he never stops searchin
 g for peaks to summit and barriers to break. Once again\, he confidently
  pushes forward on a series of singles and his 2021 second full-length a
 lbum for Atlantic Records. “I’ve been in the electronic music community 
 for a while\, but I’m really exploring now because I’m more comfortable 
 with who I am\,” he reveals. “I’m growing up and experimenting at the sa
 me time. The music is exciting and real because of it. I want to keep ev
 olving and reaching people who haven’t heard me.” At this point\, an awf
 ul lot of people have heard Whethan… Since 2015\, he has quietly emerged
  as an influential and inescapable force in not only the electronic genr
 e\, but popular music at large. Beyond tallying over 1 billion global st
 reams and counting\, he notably became “the young artist ever on Austral
 ia’s Future Classics. ” He earned a gold single with “Good Nights” [feat
 . Mascolo] from 2018’s Life of a Wallflower\, Vol. 1 and notably collabo
 rated with everyone from Dua Lipa\, Charli XCX\, and K.FLAY to Tom Morel
 lo of Rage Against The Machine\, Portugal. The Man\, Jeremih\, The Knock
 s\, and Wafia. During 2020\, he reached another high watermark with his 
 debut album\, FANTASY. It incited tastemaker applause courtesy of Billbo
 ard\, SPIN\, Earmilk\, Flaunt\, American Songwriter\, OnestoWatch\, Danc
 ing Astronaut\, EDM.com\, ThisSongIsSick\, and more. Along the way\, he 
 graced bills of marquee festivals such as Coachella\, Lollapalooza\, Out
 side Lands\, and Electric Daisy Carnival in addition to selling out a co
 -headliner at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre and topping the lineu
 p of MTV’s Snowglobe Music Festival. As he continued to create throughou
 t the Global Pandemic\, advice from one of his heroes\, Skrillex\, echoe
 d in the back of his mind. “Skrillex told me you should make music for y
 our inner child\,” he recalls. “That always stuck with me. It was a reve
 lation. I want to always be excited about what I’m doing.” After touring
  heavily for the last few years\, he maximized his time off the road. He
  produced five tracks on Oliver Tree’s critically acclaimed debut album\
 , Ugly Is Beautiful. Combing Soundcloud for music\, he immersed himself 
 in the burgeoning hyperpop movement at the same time. “After putting out
  FANTASY\, I took a break from my solo material\,” he elaborates. “I wan
 ted to go outside of the box and work on all types of music. I knew doin
 g that would lead me back to music as an artist.” His instincts proved c
 orrect. He reached out to rising hyperpop star Glaive and genre-bending 
 ericdoa and cooked up the 2021 single “Think You Right.” On the track\, 
 synths shift like tectonic plates underneath hypnotic vocal interplay. M
 eanwhile\, strings underscore a hook teeming with uncontainable energy. 
 “I was able to work with Glaive and ericdoa very naturally\,” he states.
  “I didn’t feel like I was sacrificing my sound or integrity. These guys
  were all about getting crazy with the production. They wanted me to be 
 as Whethan as I could be. There was a ton of freedom\, so it’s a very sp
 ecial song to me. It’s a big moment. It’s pretty much what I want the ne
 xt project to sound like. It absolutely set the tone.” Working with the 
 likes of Matt Ox\, midwxst\, Yeat\, Reocragun\, Slump6s\, and many more 
 on tracks\, he continues to widen the scope of his sound. “I hate doing 
 the same thing twice\,” he affirms. “I love surprising people and keepin
 g them on the edge of their seats. I want to make music that can be play
 ed for everyone on the biggest scale possible. I love synths\, crazy vid
 eo game sounds\, and hard bass. Everything is a part of the next chapter
 .” In the end\, this evolution services a higher calling for Whethan. “W
 hen people hear my music\, I want them to party and dance\,” he leaves o
 ff. “I just hope they have a good time.”\n\nTickets: https://www.axs.com
