Steve Angello, one third of Swedish House Mafia is celebrating his birthday today. Looking back on his journey, Angello released a lot of memorable tracks, either solo, together with Swedish House Mafia, or through different aliases along with Axwell or Sebastian Ingrosso.
Starting in early 2000s, Angello released his first records under the name of Who’s Who. In 2003 he launched his own label called ‘Size Records,’ a company that still releases music to this day and the label through which Angello puts out most of his solo tracks.
Later in the 2000s, he rose to fame with productions such as his 2006 hit ‘Tell Me Why’ with Axwell and ‘Baby When The Light’ with David Guetta in 2007. Angello’s biggest single came in 2008 when he released a remake of ‘Show Me Love’ by Robin S.
A year later, the Swedish House Mafia members released their first track together along with Laidback Luke. ‘Leave The World Behind’ defined a new era of house music and the start of progressive house becoming one of EDM’s many portraits. However, the record was not credited under the group name, so Angello’s first official track as part of Swedish House Mafia was ‘One,’ a collaboration that featured Pharrell Williams.
From then, Steve Angello, also nicknamed as ‘Boss’ by the fans, released many successful productions, mainly with Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso.
Following the break up of the supergroup in 2013, Angello decided to work solo again, releasing two albums, ‘Wild Youth’ and ‘Human,’ both showcasing different types of electronic music, but loved by fans. 2018 saw the boys get back together, reuniting on the Ultra Miami mainstage, closing the festival.
In present, Angello is doing work and touring both solo as well as with the Swedish House Mafia.
