Editor's note

Calvin Harris, the Scottish bedroom producer turned hitmaker

A solo producer who builds dance tracks with guest vocalists, from 'We Found Love' to 'One Kiss'.

For a sense of his sound, try 'We Found Love' or 'One Kiss.' They're clean, big-room pop that doesn't waste a beat.

He started making electronic music alone in Dumfries, and that DIY approach stuck. Songs like 'We Found Love' with Rihanna or 'One Kiss' with Dua Lipa show how he shapes pop hits around other voices while keeping the production tight. Even a track like 'Flashback' from his catalog has that same crisp, driving feel.

His first album, 'I Created Disco,' came out in 2007 with 'Acceptable in the 80s.' Later albums like '18 Months' and 'Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1' kept the solo production but brought in more featured artists.

Archive material and source history

Calvin Harris is the stage name of Adam Richard Wiles, who started making electronic dance music in his bedroom in Dumfries, Scotland. His first album, 'I Created Disco,' came out in 2007 with tracks like 'Acceptable in the 80s' that got attention. He works alone, producing his own music, though he often brings in other vocalists for songs.

He's put out several albums since then, including '18 Months' in 2012, 'Motion' in 2014, and 'Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1' in 2017. Some of his songs feature artists like Tinie Tempah or John Newman, as on 'Drinking From The Bottle' and 'Olé.' Other tracks in his catalog include 'We're All The Same' and 'Flashback.'

In 2011, 'Feel So Close' from his album 'Ready for the Weekend' became a hit in multiple countries. He's also worked with Rihanna on 'We Found Love' and with Dua Lipa on 'One Kiss,' which both did well on charts.
