Audien

Audien is the stage name of Nathaniel David Ho, an American DJ and producer who started making electronic music in his bedroom. He got his break in 2011 with the track "Serotonin," which helped build him an audience. His sound tends toward progressive house with pop elements, often built around vocal features. Songs like "Something Better" with Lady Antebellum and "Wish It Was You" with Cate Downey show how he uses those collaborations to shape his tracks.

He's from the Chicago suburbs and has cited Daft Punk and Deadmau5 as early influences. In 2016, his track "Salvation" was involved in plagiarism allegations, though he kept releasing music afterward. His work includes singles like "One More Weekend" and "Circles" with Ruby Prophet, usually built on melodic synth lines and accessible song structures.
