• More details about Andrew Bayer | 🇺🇸

  Andrew Bayer | 🇺🇸

  Enigma, polymath, visionary, DJ, producer, musician, artist: Andrew Bayer has been pushing the boundaries of electronic music for over a decade, delivering some of the most experimental and ambitious artist albums in progressive and trance music. His 2011 debut 'It's Artificial' merged glitch-hop, electronica and prog house, while 2013's 'If It Were You, We'd Never Leave' pushed the envelope further with a critically-acclaimed journey through electronica and sunny, instrumental hip-hop. 2018's 'In My Last Life' wove the emotive songwriting of Ane Brun and Alison May into a modern alt-pop masterpiece. In 2022, he delivered his most ambitious statement yet with 'Duality' – a two-part album project crafted over three years that explored both his downtempo indie-pop sensibilities and his forward-thinking trance and progressive sound. The project was accompanied by a stunning autobiographical film, now available on Amazon. Between albums, the twice Grammy-nominated producer has crafted a deep catalog of club-focused productions that power his famed DJ sets – 'Super Human' (with Asbjørn), 'Places I Belong' (with Seven Lions), 'I Don't Want You' (Armind), 'The Way' (Ophelia), and more. Respected as a true visionary and headline talent within the trance world, as well as one of its only openly proud and vocal LGBTQ+ acts, his DJ sound has energized Ultra Music Festival, Electric Daisy Carnival, Madison Square Garden, ASOT, Creamfields and clubs across the world. Today, Andrew Bayer remains one of electronic music's most versatile artists, seamlessly moving between indie-pop introspection and peak-time progressive anthems, refusing to be confined by genre boundaries while maintaining an unmistakable sonic identity.
