Chicago-born and LA-based artist & producer, Whethan, is quickly making his mark on the electronic music scene. At just 21 years old, the prodigy has already built a prolific catalog, collaborating with superstars such as Charli XCX and Dua Lipa, legends like Rage Against the Machine, and alternative heroes Portugal. The Man, Elohim, and Oliver Tree. Released in 2018, his Life of a Wallflower, Vol. 1 EP brought Whethan’s career to new heights with the acclaimed singles “Good Nights (feat. Mascolo)”, “Radar (feat. HONNE)”, and the cultural reset better known as “Superlove (feat. Oh Wonder)”. Drawing inspiration from the likes of MGMT, Foster the People, and Phoenix, it’s no surprise that Whethan has created such a cutting-edge yet still inclusive sound that has earned him nearly five million monthly Spotify listeners and 900M streams in 2019 alone. In between selling out headline gigs, Whethan has continued to dominate the touring space delivering standout sets at Lollapalooza, Red Rocks, Outside Lands, and Coachella where he invited Walmart yodeling legend, Mason Ramsey, on stage for an internet-breaking moment. With nods from everyone from Billboard to The FADER, Whethan’s sound has clearly been turning heads, and it’s about time we all listen.
