Early life

Burns's mother was an artist and painter, and his father was a professional heavyweight boxer. Burns began making music at the age of twelve, playing guitar and keyboards before discovering sampling as a teenager. At the age of 15, Burns started producing his own tracks, combining sound hardware from the seventies and eighties with modern music software and samples. [1]

Musical career

BURNS was taken on by Three Six Zero for management. He was then chosen to warm up for every show of deadmau5's U.S. 30-day tour and subsequently joined Calvin Harris on his UK tour. [2] He also released two EPs Turbo and Teknique on 2112 Records.[ citation needed ]

In 2010, BURNS released "Y.S.L.M (You Stopped Loving Me)" with French artist Fred Falke, also releasing his So Many Nights EP. In 2011, Burns released a track with NT89 entitled "Traffic" and went on to release "Iced Out" on Calvin Harris' Fly Eye label. In 2012, Burns secured a residency at The Wynn Hotel, Las Vegas [3] while playing shows across America. He released "Lies" in September with remixes from Skream, Tiga, Acrobat and Otto Knows. The single entered the BBC Radio 1 playlist at C moving to B one week later and then on to A for 7 consecutive weeks. The track peaked at number 32 in the UK Singles Chart [4] and at number 36 in the Netherlands.

BURNS began his solo residency at OMNIA nightclub in Las Vegas in 2016.[ citation needed ] In 2017, BURNS was signed by RCA Records. His first release on the label, "Far Gone feat. Johnny Yukon" was released in summer of that year.[ citation needed ] He followed with a second single "Angel" in April 2018, and also "Hands On Me" which featured Maluma and Rae Sremmurd. "Hands On Me" was the first English-speaking feature for Latin artist Maluma.[ citation needed ]
