single “Peanut Butter Jelly” and 3x platinum certified smash “Runaway (U &amp; I)” – the latter of which
earned a GRAMMY nomination for “Best Dance Recording” – while 2017’s sophomore album The Aviary
(featuring platinum-certified single “No Money”) saw a top 10 debut in 23 countries. The third Galantis
album, 2020’s Church, featured the chart-topping gold-certified single “Faith” with country music icon
Dolly Parton featuring Mr. Probz, which saw a #1 debut on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Chart before
quickly reaching #1 on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay Chart where it remained for 5 weeks. Meanwhile,
gold-certified collaborative single “Heartbreak Anthem” with David Guetta &amp; Little Mix proved a global
sensation, spending 10 weeks on the Billboard Global 200 chart and 13 consecutive weeks in the top 10
on the UK Official Chart. Latest album, Rx, is Karlsson’s most deeply personal creation to date – featuring
pop banger “Lighter” with Guetta and 5 Seconds of Summer which landed No.1 on the US Dance Radio
chart. Galantis has received over 7.3 billion cumulative worldwide streams and over 1.9 billion video
views to date.
Karlsson has been at the helm of Galantis since 2009 before officially debuting the project at 2014’s
Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. His career has spanned across the musical genres of punk-
rock, hip-hop and pop – including work as one half of acclaimed production duo Bloodshy &amp; Avant and
one third of indie pop band Miike Snow. Karlsson’s songwriting/production credits have included the
likes of Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Katy Perry and extensive work with Britney Spears (including “Toxic”

As Galantis, he has crafted remixes for the likes of Coldplay, Selena Gomez, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith &amp;
more. Declared “pop’s mastermind producer” by UPROXX, “eternally effervescent” by Billboard and
“one of the most influential and untamed voices in modern music” by GRAMMY.com, the Swedish-born
artist continues to evolve and push the boundaries of songwriting within the world of dance music and
beyond.
