After 2 years of dedication, crafting a genre-blurring genus of pop, fusing R&B, soul and EDM, Miami-born and NYC-based singer, model and TV personality, Teraj announces May 31 release date for his highly anticipated album, DEFY. With tracks engineered by the team behind Calvin Harris’ song “Blame” the album features production by Danny Bobby (Young Thug, Rich The Kid), Al Sween (Akon), Vezzo, The Culture and Teraj himself. The album will be released on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, and all DSPs.

The former resident performer at Manhattan’s trendy Iguana Lounge landed performances in Rome, Montreal, and at this year’s Toronto Pride Festival, where he’ll be performing on June 22nd and 23rd, solidifying Teraj as a rising international sensation. Teraj is also a Cornell graduate who wrote, arranged, and co-produced all of the tracks for his album. Capitalizing on his previous success as a social media influencer, NYC model, and real estate agent, with numerous appearances on Bravo’s hit reality show Million Dollar Listing New York, Teraj has produced an album that’s as uplifting and transparent as his public persona, boldly defying expectations and showcasing the full force of his voice.

Teraj reveals that “An upbringing full of overcoming obstacles is the driving force behind the album, DEFY. These songs celebrate triumph over adversity, while touching upon self-love, acceptance, and the journey of coming into my own. I want listeners to bop hard when they hear my songs but ultimately take something away from the music when they pay attention to the lyrical content. With all that’s going on in the world right now, I hope these songs inspire confidence and fearlessness in listeners to be true to who they are.”

R&B is not dead.
Your favorite R&B playlist includes indie and mainstream artists

Tiësto is a name that no longer needs an introduction. He is synonymous with the best of electronic music, and continues to inspire a generation of up-and-coming young artists.

In addition to two Grammy nominations and a Grammy win in 2015, Tiësto has been named the #1 DJ by Rolling Stone, voted “The Greatest DJ of All Time” by Mixmag, ranked the #1 DJ in the world three times by DJ Mag, and was recently awarded the Edison Pop Oeuvre Lifetime Achievement Award (an honor he shares with David Bowie, Quincy Jones and U2 among others).

After conquering the house and trance worlds, the superstar producer led the charge in helping electronic music crossover into the mainstream with his last album, A Town Called Paradise in 2014. His single “Red Lights” is now certified gold in the US, Sweden and Canada, while “Wasted” with Matthew Koma recently went platinum in the US and is his highest-charting release to date. Clearly a taste of what was to come, Tiësto has recently dropped new tunes with the The Chainsmokers, Martin Garrix, and pop sensation Natalie La Rose.

Collaborations are nothing new for Tiësto, who believes in passing along his success by working with well-known names like Martin Garrix and Oliver Heldens, to name a few. For years now, he has helped up-and-coming acts in the electronic world find their way with his record label, Musical Freedom. Aside from his label, he also took part in 7Up’s DJing competition “Your Shot,” a competition for aspiring DJ’s to learn the craft and perform alongside Tiësto in Las Vegas.

At this point in his career, Tiësto has toured the world countless times, performing for millions at Ultra, Coachella, Tomorrowland, TomorrowWorld and Electric Daisy Carnival, in addition to the innumerable clubs that he headlines. He’s one of the few DJs in the world to hold a residency in Las Vegas, where he plays at Hakkasan and Wet Republic.

In spite of his hectic tour schedule, residency, and focus on creating new music, Tiësto hasn’t forgotten his roots. As a champion of the DJ mix for decades, his Club Life compilations have become a staple in the dance world as has his Sirius XM channel of the same name. In addition, his weekly radio show is broadcast on 350 stations in 77 countries and has over 35 million listeners.

Tiësto also remains an expert remixer to the biggest names in music, reworking smash hits for the likes of Beyoncé, Coldplay, Kanye West, Sam Smith, Ellie Goulding, David Guetta, Major Lazer, Calvin Harris, and many more. In 2015, he won his first Grammy Award for his massively popular remix of John Legend’s “All Of Me.”

Tiësto has successfully transitioned his influence and savvy to industries beyond music, acting as an advisor to tech startups like Splice, Dubset and Doppler. Most recently, Tiësto released his newly re-designed mobile app, where fans can consume all things Tiësto. Through current collaborations with T-Mobile and Budweiser and soon-to-be-revealed efforts in the fashion space, the DJ is bringing dance music culture to more people than ever before.

Throughout the past two decades, Tiësto has remained not only one of the world’s most prolific and enduring artists, but one of music’s top innovators. In spite of his accomplishments, Tiësto does not see his work as being done. “DJing is my life,” the man isn’t afraid to admit. But more than that, “It’s a lifestyle.”
