Calvin Harris music biography continued...

in Dumfries, Scotland, Harris was first drawn to electronic music in his teens and was recording bedroom demos by 1999. Two of these songs, "Da Bongos" and "Brighter Days," were released as club singles by the Prima Facie label in early 2002 under the artist name Stouffer. After an unsuccessful stint in London, Harris returned to his hometown and began posting his music on his MySpace page. An A&R representative from EMI liked what he heard and signed Harris to the label in 2006. Following a pair of successful singles, "Vegas" and "Acceptable in the 80s," Harris released his debut album, I Created Disco, in the summer of 2007. In 2007 Harris recorded with Kylie Minogue, co-writing and producing two songs on Kylies' X album—"In My Arms" and "Heart Beat Rock." He also collaborated with several other artists, including British pop-star Sophie Ellis-Bextor and UK rapper Dizzee Rascal. Harris performed "I'm Not Alone", the first single off his latest album in Sydney, Australia on New Year's Eve 2009. He'll be touring in support of his latest album throughout the UK, Ireland, France, the Netherlands and the United States, bringing his music to millions of hungry fans around the world.
