Kidnap is an artist whose music overflows with emotion - rich and powerfully evocative.

Recording in London, Kidnap (real name Matthew Relton) likens his process to that of a sculptor, starting with a block of sound and chopping away until a shape emerges. As such, each song exists ornately carved with a handcrafted subtly.

Still just 33, Relton is already something of an industry veteran. Releasing his first single in 2012 kicked off an eight-year stretch of global touring that came to a grinding halt when the pandemic put the world on pause.

2024 marks a new chapter for Kidnap, with his next body of work on the horizon. Set against the backdrop of a changing world and the arrival of a baby daughter, Relton offers a bittersweet reflection on the passing of time. ‘It’s about looking back on the last 12 years — the touring and the friends and the sleeplessness,” says Relton, “and realising that in order to embrace the life I have now, I need to let it all go.’ The music shimmers with nostalgia. Signature sad melodies dance deftly around commanding synth lines, altogether sounding like an artist with a new found sense of purpose.

Since first breaking onto the alt-pop scene in 2007, Owl City has built a global following on the strength of his heart-on-sleeve songwriting and endlessly inventive sound. Along with earning a monumental hit with the diamond-certified “Fireflies”—a 2009 release that reached No. 1 in 26 countries—the Minnesota-bred artist otherwise known as Adam Young has made waves with smash singles like the double-platinum “Good Time” feat. Carly Rae Jepsen and brought his exuberant live set to sold-out shows around the world. With total album sales of over three million and single sales surpassing 20 million globally, Owl City has now delivered the highly anticipated new album Coco Moon: a wildly imaginative body of work revealing his deepened devotion to the strange magic of creativity.

DJ/Producer from Grand Rapids, Michigan, blending elements of Hyperpop, EDM, and experimental soundscapes to create unique, boundary-pushing tracks. My music reflects not just the sounds I grew up with but the spirit of constant evolution. From remixes to original beats, I’m here to challenge conventions and deliver something fresh.

🎶 A Sound That Evolves
My journey as a producer has taken me across genres, from the high-energy drops of early Zedd and the intricate production of Wolfgang Gartner, to the current Hyperpop landscape. Every beat, melody, and sample is carefully designed to express something new, be it a remix or a deeply personal original composition. My sound is about more than music—it's about exploring identity, emotion, and connection. Past collaborations, like my work with Rachel Curtis, highlighted nostalgic themes of friendship, while my remixes play with more experimental, genre-blending vibes.

💿 Past & Ongoing Projects
Over the past few years, I’ve worked on projects that span genres and styles. My remix of Dua Lipa's "Illusion" leans heavily into early 2010s EDM influence, while projects like my original track "Sidekick" delve into nostalgic storytelling. Recently, I’ve explored remixing and genre blending, incorporating inspiration from country and gospel, thanks to a close friend’s encouragement.

🌈 Pushing Identity Through Music
As a member of the Hyperpop and LGBTQ+ community, my music serves as an exploration of my personal identity and expression. It’s about telling stories, amplifying voices, and celebrating the joy and complexity of being unapologetically yourself. Each track I produce connects to that deeper purpose of bringing something authentic and bold to the table.

🎧 What’s Ahead?
I’m constantly working on new music, collaborations, and performances. From DJing live sets to developing original tracks, every project pushes me closer to my ultimate goal: creating music that resonates emotionally and sonically. I love collaborating with other creatives, so reach out if you’re down to vibe or work together on something new.
