Career
2013-2019
During this period, Holly released his music on a number of independent music labels, including Buygore,[12] Fool’s Gold Records,[13] Dim Mak Records,[14] and Monstercat.[15]
In 2019 Holly performed around the world at festivals including Coachella,[16] EDC Las Vegas,[8] and EDC Korea,[7] and released the EP "Alameda 1000" that features collaborations with Bloody Beetroots, A$AP TyY and Gunplay.[17] He also produced part of the "Blue Man Group" Speechless soundtrack[18] and worked on ProfJam's album #FFFFFF, which went platinum in Portugal.[19] Holly also produced for the rappers Joey Purp, Kami, Slow J, LE of EXID and Kappa Jotta.[20][21][22] In 2019 he was highlighted by Billboard Dance as an emerging artist, describing his sound as ‘tough, but sophisticated and often experimental bass that often properly pummels.’[23] Holly also released official remixes for TOKiMONSTA, ZHU and Alison Wonderland in 2019.[8][24]
In 2020 Holly released the bass-heavy mixtape Dark Skies & Holy Grail,[33] a collection of 11 tracks made between the United States and Holly's hometown in Portugal.[3] Holly described Dark Skies as a metaphor for how he saw the world at the time of making the project- with 'Dark Skies' representing the difficulties that we face in order to conquer our dreams, and dreams being represented by 'Holy Grail'.[34]
The mixtape includes collaborations with Baauer,[35] UnoTheActivist,[36]OG Maco,[3]Ugly Duck, Sebastian Reynoso, RahRah,[37]TOKiMONSTA and TEARZ.[3] The project also features a collaboration with Mac P Dawg and SUFFER GRiM, on the track "Fridays Night". Holly and Mac P Dawg met in Los Angeles where they wrote the song together, and two weeks after the session Mac P Dawg passed away killed due to gun violence. Holly and Mac P Dawg's family mutually decided to go ahead with releasing the track with all proceeds donated to Mac's family.[38][37]
As part of the project Holly collaborated with the fashion designer and stylist Alexandra Moura,[39] and also did mixes for BBC Diplo & Friends[40] and Complex.[41]
