Early life

Christian Karlsson began focusing on music at age thirteen, recollecting "I come from skateboard culture, so it was punk rock, and I got into hip hop when hip hop got into skateboarding. I had never done anything else but music." [18] He began working in the studio mixing and producing music as a teenager, and held stints with Swedish pop groups such as Goldmine, who at one point opened for the Fugees. [4]

Music career

Bloodshy and Avant singles (2000–2005)

Early in his music career, Bloodshy began working with his childhood friend Pontus Winnberg on electronic music and house music. [3] Karlsson adopted the moniker Bloodshy, and began working avidly on songwriting and producing with Winnberg as Bloodshy and Avant. [4] The duo scored their first success working with American singer-songwriter Christina Milian [4] for her late 2001 début album.

Karlsson is a member of a band called Galantis together with Linus Eklöw, which they formed around 2013. [11] Karlsson and Eklöw had first met by chance at Karlsson's Robotberget studios in Stockholm, sometime in 2007. In 2009, Miike Snow asked Eklöw to remix their song "Animal". Afterwards Karlsson and Eklöw, both based in Sweden, started hanging out in the studio together, playing each other songs and scraps of ideas. [37] In 2012 they stopped the loop-based and software-centric approach, switching to Karlsson's usual method of beginning a song on guitar or piano. "We keep the song naked, and when we feel like we have the right one, we put some clothes on it and see how it feels", says Karlsson. [38] Christian and Eklöw said: "when we started Galantis, we set out to challenge each other and experiment with all of the sounds and ideas that we find exciting. We built a studio on a small island in the Baltic Sea and our surroundings became a source of inspiration." [39]

Galantis signed to Atlantic Records' dance imprint Big Beat Records in mid-2013. Their first single with Big Beat Records, "Smile", was released that following November. [40] As the first composition they agreed upon, [11] "Smile" received several remixes from various artists, and an extended mix by Kaskade. [41] "Smile" has also been featured by Kaskade, Diplo, Tiesto, Dada Life, Steve Angello, and Pete Tong, who featured it as an Essential Tune. [42] Its controversial video premiered on Stereogum, [40] and featured the first instance of the "Seafox", a band mascot created by visual artist Mat Maitland. [43]

Galantis EP and touring (2014)

In February 2014, the duo released their second single "You". [44] The track was subsequently played heavily at Winter Music Conference, [45] becoming the 8th most Shazamed track at the festival. [46] Their debut self-titled EP Galantis was released on April 1, 2014. [12] Galantis debuted their live show at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 12, 2014, [13] about two weeks after they released their debut EP. [14] In a Billboard Poll asking fans to vote on Coachella 2014's Best Dance Music Moment, Galantis beat Calvin Harris, Flume, Chromeo, Disclosure and Girl Talk with 52% of the vote. [15] Their debut performance garnered praise from Dancing Astronaut, Los Angeles Times and Billboard, among other publications. [47] [48] [49]

Galantis has had international success with their single "Runaway (U & I)", which debuted on 5 October 2014. [16] Rolling Stone opined that the song was "riding high on unapologetically major-key synths and pitched-up vocals", also writing "the summer anthem added an organic touch to the undeniable earworm qualities of the best Scandinavian pop." [50] The song reached the top of Spotify's Global and US Viral charts [16] and became a top 10 Spotify track in the Netherlands, Belgium and Finland. In America, the track peaked at number 1 on the Billboard Twitter Emerging Artists chart, [51] and Billboard ranked the song at number five on its "The 10 Best Electronic/Dance Songs of 2014" list. [52] Furthermore, "Runaway (U & I)" received a nomination for Best Dance Recording at the 58th Grammy Awards, [17] receiving a second Grammy nomination as well. [14]

Pharmacy and singles (2015–16)

Galantis released the single "Gold Dust" on 19 February 2015 through Stereogum, which reached number 1 on Hype Machine's Popular Chart. [53] In April 2015, Galantis released their single "Peanut Butter Jelly", which Rolling Stone called a "retro, funky slice of disco revival, with the kind of unforgettable, sing-along vocal hook destined for clubs, parties and spin classes." [50] Time magazine wrote that the "infectious" track "samples the 1960s soul singer Bettye Swann, lending major retro vibes to its pulsing contemporary beat." [18]

On May 21, 2015 Galantis began their summer tour in support of Pharmacy, which ended on August 6, 2015. There were 22 dates on the tour in total, with various performances in multiple continents including Europe and North America. [54] Galantis released their debut album Pharmacy on June 8, 2015. [18] [19] The duo uploaded each song to their YouTube channel with alternate artworks for each track. [55] Karlsson was touring with Galantis at the end of 2015 as well, with plans to hit venues in Las Vegas and other North American cities. [14] In 2015, Galantis was named Best Breakthrough Artist at the International Dance Music Awards. [20]

On March 4, 2016, Miike Snow released iii . With the band, Karlsson performed singles from the album on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on March 1, 2016. In addition, the band announced a tour in 2016 to promote the album, to take place from March 3, 2016 to July 29, 2016. [21] Specific dates included SXSW, [56] Coachella, the Governors Ball Music Festival and Lollapalooza, as well as others. [21]

Style and equipment

Karlsson is known for writing and producing a mixture of big room house, progressive house, and other electronic music genres. He uses similar approaches in his different musical groups, stating that with Galantis, they "always start with the song. We use guitar, piano, and bass lines we don't keep to figure out which clothes we're going to put on each melody and lyric. I think that's different than a lot of others in the dance scene. They have a beat they love and then force a top line on top of it." [57] Karlsson furthermore stated that with Galantis, "A Galantis song sometimes has been only on a piano for two years before we even start putting a kick drum in it ... there's no Galantis song that starts with a beat or a track." [50]

Personal life

As of 2016, Karlsson is based in Bangkok with his family. [3] He was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder as an adult, and his condition is the main focus of the 2023 Galantis single "Bang Bang! (My Neurodivergent Anthem)". [58]
