2025 couldn't have kicked off any stronger for EFFEN. His latest single 'Majesty' surged to #4 on the Beatport Top 100, and he stormed back onto the stage in Kuala Lumpur, performing alongside Afrojack in a triumphant return. It's almost
unreal to think that just over a year ago, he was fighting cancer for the second time in a row. The comeback isn't just real – it's unstoppable and he's rewriting his legacy.

For two decades, EFFEN has been a relentless force in the dance music scene — igniting dancefloors with precision, passion, and purpose. His deep-rooted commitment to the craft has shaped him into a true master of the spectrum, effortlessly weaving through genres that resonate across generations. Armed with
an instinctive understanding of what moves a crowd, EFFEN commands every slot on the lineup - from setting the tone as an opener, to owning the spotlight as a headliner, to closing with unforgettable energy. Blending cutting-edge innovation with a deep respect for old school fundamentals, EFFEN is a rare breed. 

His marathon 7-hour sets aren't just performances — they're
journeys. And for those who experience them, they're unforgettable.

As a music producer, EFFEN has carved a legacy defined by quality, vision, and impact. With releases on iconic labels like Future Sound of Egypt and Black Hole Recordings, his work stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the genre's elite. EFFEN made history as the first Singaporean artist to land multiple features on Armin van Buuren's A State of Trance — a milestone that cemented his global presence.

His productions have earned consistent support from legends including Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Solarstone, and other heavyweights who recognize the depth and emotion in his sound. With each release, EFFEN doesn't just drop tracks - he delivers moments that echo through clubs, festivals, and hearts worldwide.

Anticipation is surging for what EFFEN has lined up in 2025. With a fresh wave of releases and remixes on the horizon, the Singaporean trailblazer is set to elevate his sonic legacy even further. Following a successful run of shows across Asia, EFFEN is gearing up for a powerful return to China with upcoming performances locked in for Guangzhou, Hainan and Foshan — solidifying his presence in one of the world's fastest-growing dance music markets.

With over a decade of unrelenting dedication, EFFEN has emerged as a force of nature in the global dance music scene. More than just a rising star, he’s a symbol of Southeast Asia’s creative rise — breaking boundaries, rewriting expectations, and
inspiring a new generation. His talent is undeniable.

His momentum, unstoppable.
