Born on January 17, 1984, in the southern Scotland city of Dumfries, Calvin Harris was first attracted to electronic music in his teens and was recording bedroom demos in 1999. Two of these songs, "Da Bongos" and "Brighter Days," were released in early 2002 under the artist name Stouffer. With that single to his credit, the still teenaged Harris moved from Scotland to London; only one of his songs was released during his time in London, "Let Me Know" with vocalist Ayah on the Unabombers' 2004 live-mix CD Electric Soul, Vol. 2."I'm Not Alone," the first single from his second album, also hit number one upon release in April 2009, as did the album when it appeared that August. That album, Ready for the Weekend, topped the U.K. album chart and peaked at number 12 on Billboard's U.S. dance/electronic chart. Through 2011, Harris took on production work for Example, Tinchy Stryder, and Rihanna ("We Found Love," a quadruple-platinum hit in the U.S.), while he also issued two more of his own singles :"Bounce" and "Feel So Close". This last cited is emotional, almost an emo vocal. I can’t remember the last time guitars were in dance music like that. Also, it’s all real instruments. Nothing is fake there: it’s real music, real melody and actual emotion. Harris' third solo album, 18 Months, was a collaboration-filled affair that featured "We Found Love" and "Bounce" plus vocal spots from Ellie Goulding, Florence Welch, and Ne-Yo, among others, was released in October of 2012. Calvin Harris has unveiled the video to his latest single “Under Control”, a collaboration with Swedish artist Alesso and Theo from Hurts. The video depicts the trio hosting an end-of-world party as a meteor hurtles towards Earth. The single that is set for release via Columbia Records on November 25 is Calvin’s first since releasing his hit album, 18 Months, last year which amassed nine back-to-back top ten UK singles. I really like him , his style and also if is a DJ with his music he is able to transmit deep emotions. It’s a good way to spend your money and you won’t regrets to have one of his CD cause his music is really awesome !!!
