Steve Aoki

About

Steve Aoki is the blueprint for the 21st-century artist: a Grammy-nominated DJ, visionary producer, relentless collaborator, fashion tastemaker, and global entrepreneur. Known for his high-octane performances—often ending with a cake flying into the crowd—Aoki has built a world where dance music collides with pop culture, technology, and lifestyle in unexpected and unforgettable ways.

Founder of the influential Dim Mak label in 1996, Aoki has championed a genre-fluid roster spanning indie, punk, electro, house, trap, and everything in between—launching careers for artists like The Bloody Beetroots, MSTRKRFT, Bloc Party, and more. A product of both the L.A. underground and global main stages, he’s collaborated with EDM legends like Afrojack, Laidback Luke, Armand Van Helden, NERVO, and Tiësto, while also bridging genres with artists such as blink-182, Linkin Park, BTS, Fall Out Boy, 2 Chainz, Migos, Gucci Mane, and even Bill Nye the Science Guy.

His discography spans chart-topping hits like “Turbulence,” “Delirious (Boneless),” “Just Hold On,” and the futuristic Neon Future album series, showcasing a signature style that evolves as fast as the culture he helps shape. Whether infusing his sound with trap, pop, punk, or tropical house, Aoki remains on the bleeding edge of sonic innovation.

Offstage, he’s equally ambitious—launching lifestyle brands, building tech ventures, investing in Web3, and running charitable efforts through the Aoki Foundation, focused on brain science and future tech.

In Steve Aoki’s world, music is just the beginning—and there’s no ceiling to what comes next.
