The world of electronic dance music is about to witness the rise of a young prodigy. 13-year-old DJ sensation Dario Di Bona has just released his debut single ‘Jaded’ through record label Tankfloor/WMG, marking the beginning of what promises to be an extraordinary career.
Born in Padua, Italy, and raised in Geneva, Switzerland, Dario discovered his passion for electronic music at the tender age of four. A vacation to Ibiza first ignited his love for DJing when he was mesmerized by a beach club performance. A few months later, another electrifying experience in Courmayeur, Italy, solidified his dream. That same day, he asked his father for a mixer, determined to master the craft.
By the age of seven, Dario took the stage for the first time at a beach club party in Italy, making 1,000 people dance. His career skyrocketed from there. At eight, he made his debut in Dubai and was interviewed by the iconic Italian DJ Albertino on Radio Deejay. That same year, he played his first major event: a New Year’s Eve party in Venice, Italy, captivating an audience of 18,000. His rise continued with a feature on the cover of South America’s Rocking Talent magazine.
A short video of his DJ set in Venice garnered over 2 million views on Instagram, and at the age of nine, he took Ibiza by storm with a live DJ set on Ibiza Global Radio, amassing another 1 million Instagram views. That summer, he also performed in Formentera at the iconic Chezz Gerdi beach club.
At just ten years old, Dario played a massive beach club event for 10,000 people, followed by a stunning open-air festival performance in his hometown of Padua, where he made 80,000 people dance in Prato della Valle, the largest square in Europe. The following year, he graced clubs in Rome, Geneva, and Monte Carlo, delivering an emotional performance at Extra Extra, a legendary venue where his parents once met.
In 2024, Dario Di Bona took the stage at the third Ibiza Global Festival, where his set was met with great enthusiasm from the audience. Later, the video of his performance gained further recognition when it was supported and shared by David Guetta.
Now, at 13, Dario is ready to make waves with his debut single ‘Jaded’. With an already impressive career and a rapidly growing global fanbase — amassing over 70 million views on Instagram videos and 10 million on Facebook — his new track is poised to solidify his status as one of the youngest rising stars in electronic music.
