Biografie
Varun's obsession for dance music stemmed while he was at the age of 16. Captivated by the energy and emotion it carried, he was hooked from the moment he heard it.
After graduating from Icon Collective in Los Angeles, being mentored by Steve Duda and studying with Luca Pretolesi, his first official remix was released on Ultra Records. In 2015, Varun's remix of Ivy Levan & Diplo's "27 Club" was picked up by Interscope/CherryTree Records and premiered on the infamous 102.7 KIIS.FM Electric Mix. His collaboration "Can't Hear A Word You're Saying" with X-Change was deemed Demo of the Week on Hardwell's infamous podcast Hardwell On Air. "Future Underground" a collaboration between him, AVE & EFX and the talented vocalist KASS was supported by Gareth Emery and voted Electric For Life Anthem of the Week. After their collaborative success, Varun teamed up with the duo for several more projects including "Bill Murray" and "Paint the Sky". Both were released under Trap Nation's label Lowly Palace with "Paint the Sky" accumulating over 6 million plays across YouTube, Spotify and Soundcloud. His remix collaboration with Facade was named one of the top remixes of Marshmello & Khalid's "Silence" by Billboard.com alongside names such as Tiesto, Illenium and Slushii.
Behind the scenes, Varun has been busy at work, hired for projects with Universal, CherryTree/Interscope, Perfecto, Aftercluv and Arkade. He received mixing & mastering credits on the Moby vs Robyn & Royksopp remix of "Do It Again'. In 2017, Varun was tasked to help create music used in the Backstreet Boys: Larger Than Life residency held at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. He is currently co-producing with the legendary artist Paul Oakenfold. Some of their collaborations include "Waterfall" ft. Lizzy Land, "Love Escape" ft. Amba Shepherd and "Only Us" ft. Little Nicky. In recent events, he's been able to share the stage with acts like Above & Beyond, Showtek, Dada Life, Arty, Nicky Romero, Tritonal, Audien, Morgan Page, Cash Cash, TJR, Benny Benassi and many more.
