SOFI TUKKER
SOFI TUKKER is a GRAMMY-nominated electronic duo made up of best friends Sophie
Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern. After meeting at Brown University, they formed a band
instead of following their original solo paths—Sophie back to Brazil, Tucker into DJing. Their
debut single “Drinkee” and album Treehouse were both GRAMMY-nominated, launching a
career rooted in global, joyful dance music with deep Brazilian influences.
They’ve released four studio albums (Treehouse, WET TENNIS, BREAD, butter) and hit singles
like “Best Friend” and “Purple Hat,
” amassing billions of streams and Platinum records across
five continents. Known for their explosive, genre-blending live shows, they’ve headlined Red
Rocks, Forest Hills Stadium, and played nearly every major festival from Coachella to
Tomorrowland.
With syncs for Apple, Peloton, and Smartwater, and collaborations with brands like G-Star Raw
and Dolce & Gabbana, their bold aesthetic is as signature as their sound. Off-stage, they’re
deeply involved in causes from climate action to mental health, and sit on the board of FEMME
HOUSE.
In 2025, they relaunched Animal Talk—originally a party and label—as a management company
with Myles Shear, Mike Hoerner, and Bella Tamis, supporting boundary-pushing artists who
make people dance. SOFI TUKKER thrives in contrast: electronic yet organic, playful yet
purposeful—an electrifying balance of Sophie and Tucker.
Kicking off 2026 with a brand new single “COOK” featuring J Balvin to be released in new
partnership with Republic Records.
Kungs
Originally from Toulon, Kungs discovered his passion for music at an early age. At just 19,
he scored his first global hit with This Girl, in collaboration with Cookin’ On 3 Burners. The
track topped the charts in more than 45 countries, was certified fourteen times Diamond, and
became one of the most searched songs on Shazam. This breakthrough catapulted the
young producer onto the international stage and led to his debut album, Layers (2016),
which took him to the world’s biggest festivals, from Coachella to Tomorrowland.
In May 2021, Kungs embarked on a new artistic chapter with Never Going Home. A true
post-lockdown anthem, the track quickly became a dancefloor classic, earning multiple
certifications (Diamond in France, Double Platinum in Italy, Platinum in Poland). The single
heralded Club Azur, a bright and celebratory second album infused with funk, house and
Italo-disco, conceived as a tribute to club culture and the joy of partying.
Two years later, Kungs teamed up with Purple Disco Machine on Substitution, a
disco-infused track with an unmistakable ’80s aesthetic, certified Diamond in March 2025.
The previous summer, he released The Complete Collection, bringing together his biggest
hits, a project awarded Gold status in May 2025. A few months later, he reunited with David
Guetta and Izzy Bizu for All Night Long, a unifying single in the spirit of Club Azur, quickly
achieving Diamond certification internationally.
In 2026, Kungs makes his highly anticipated return with OUT LOUD, a new album set for
release on March 13, featuring exciting collaborations and exploring a sonic palette at the
crossroads of disco, rock and French Touch. Led by the already released single Light Me
Up, in collaboration with PNAU, this third album marks a new milestone in the journey of an
artist in constant evolution. Kungs will present OUT LOUD during an exceptional concert at
the Zénith de Paris on April 3, 2026 - a 100% live show made up exclusively of his own
tracks, with a custom-designed stage production to enhance each song.
