Born Adam Richard Wiles on January 17, 1984, in Dumfries, Scotland, Calvin Harris developed an interest in electronic music during his teenage years. He began recording demos from his bedroom in 1999 and released two club singles, “Da Bongos” and “Brighter Days,” in early 2002 under the name “Stouffer.” After a period in London, he returned to Dumfries and started posting his homemade recordings on MySpace, leading to his discovery by talent booker Mark Gillespie, who signed him as the first artist to his management firm. This marked the beginning of his commercial career, leading to contracts with EMI and Sony BMG in 2006.
His debut album, “I Created Disco,” released in 2007, was written, produced, and performed entirely by Harris using an Amiga computer. The album achieved commercial success with singles like “Acceptable in the 80s” and “The Girls” charting in the UK. This early success led to collaborations with artists such as Kylie Minogue, for whom he co-wrote and produced tracks on her 2007 album “X.” In 2008, he collaborated with Dizzee Rascal on the single “Dance wiv Me,” which topped the UK Singles Chart and was certified platinum. His second album, “Ready for the Weekend” (2009), debuted at number one in the UK and featured singles like “I’m Not Alone.”
Harris gained international prominence with his third studio album, “18 Months,” released in 2012. This album produced eight top-10 singles in the UK, breaking a record previously held by Michael Jackson. Key tracks from this period include “Bounce,” “Feel So Close,” and the Rihanna collaboration “We Found Love,” which topped charts in 27 countries and became his first US number one. He continued his success with subsequent albums such as “Motion” (2014) and “Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1” (2017), which featured collaborations with a wide array of high-profile artists and consistently performed well on charts globally. He was named the highest-paid DJ by Forbes for six consecutive years from 2013 to 2018.
