iEDM Radio Episode 162: Elephante

Driven by an unwavering determination and passion for his craft, in just under two years Tim Wu – best known as Elephante – has amassed a plethora of flawless productions that have earned him rave reviews from the likes of Rolling Stone, Sirius XM, DJ Mag and Billboard as well as respect from the cream of the dance music elite. His musical maturity and innate ability to create genre-defying hits time and time again have seen the dance pop prodigy win the hearts of legions of fans across the world. Hailing from Ann Arbor, Michigan, Tim began his musical career as a classically trained pianist and singer-songwriter, playing in bands in high school and college. A graduate of Harvard University, Wu realized soon after taking his first desk job that the corporate lifestyle was not for him. He spent every waking hour producing music to admittedly keep himself sane. Finally embracing the “elephant in the room” that was his desire to break free from the monotonous nine-to-five routine, Wu set his sights on the dance music sphere and Elephante was born. Quite literally giving up his day job in order to hone his craft, he continues to make his mark as one of the most innovative progressive and electro house producers today. Elephante’s star is most definitely on the rise. ------------------ Tracklist: 1. Elephante, Zedd - Closer X Stay The Night 2. Paris & Simo - Zombie [3LAU Edit] 3. R3hab, Deorro - Flashlight 4.
