About Me

CPYRGHT is a 22-year-old artist, producer and DJ from Sevenoaks, Kent, creating electronic pop rooted in

the euphoric spirit of dance music's golden era.

​

Born in London to South African parents, his childhood was split between London, Hong Kong and Kent

before moving to Los Angeles at 18 to study music production. Music has been a constant throughout. After

discovering Martin Garrix as a kid during the EDM explosion of the early 2010s, he picked up DJing before

teaching himself to produce, inspired by the realisation that the artists he admired were creating the records

themselves.

​

While much of contemporary dance music has become increasingly divided between underground credibility

and mainstream appeal, CPYRGHT exists comfortably between the two. Drawing influence from artists such

as Avicii, Swedish House Mafia, Calvin Harris and Martin Garrix, his music combines pop songwriting with

electronic production, aiming to capture the feeling that first made him fall in love with dance music.

​

At its core, the CPYRGHT project is built around escapism. His songs and performances are designed to

offer a temporary release from everyday life, a space where people can let go, feel connected and

experience the same sense of freedom and euphoria that defined a generation of dance records.

​

Now based back in Kent, CPYRGHT is part of a new wave of artists challenging the idea that electronic

music must choose between cultural relevance and mass appeal. By taking inspiration from music, fashion

and contemporary art in equal measure, he is building a project that feels equally at home in the club, on

stage, and in the wider cultural conversation.
