Galantis is the dance music project of Christian Karlsson (aka Bloodshy, and a member of Miike Snow), who has been at the helm of the project since its debut at the 2014 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. With a career spanning more than two decades and touching a wealth of genres, including punk-rock, hip-hop and pop, his musical genius has led to collaborations alongside some of the industry's most iconic names, including Madonna, Britney Spears. Notably, he co-wrote and produced Britney's hit "Toxic," earning a GRAMMY Award for Best Dance Recording.
His RIAA gold-certified debut album Pharmacy reached No. 1 on the Billboard Dance album chart on the strength of platinum-certified single "Peanut Butter Jelly" and 3x platinum certified smash "Runaway (U & I)" - the latter of which has recently hit one BILLION streams on Spotify, alongside a GRAMMY nomination for "Best Dance Recording" - while 2017's sophomore album The Aviary (featuring 2x platinum-certified single "No Money") saw a top 10 debut in 23 countries. The third Galantis album, 2020's Church, featured the chart-topping gold-certified single "Faith" with country music icon Dolly Parton, which saw a #1 debut on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Chart before quickly reaching #1 on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay Chart where it remained for 5 weeks. Gold-certified collaborative single "Heartbreak Anthem" with David Guetta & Little Mix proved a global sensation, spending 10 weeks on the Billboard Global 200 chart and 13 consecutive weeks in the top 10 on the UK Official Chart. The latest album, Rx, is Karlsson's most deeply personal creation to date - featuring pop banger "Lighter" with Guetta and 5 Seconds of Summer which landed No.1 on the US Dance Radio chart.
Today, the heavy-hitter has received over 10 billion cumulative worldwide streams and over 5 billion video views as the Swedish-born artist continues to evolve and shatter through the boundaries in a way that only Galantis can.

Working as Bloodshy, Karlsson's songwriting collaborations have included Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Katy Perry and Britney Spears (whose "Toxic" earned a GRAMMY award for "Best Dance Recording"). After reaching out to Eklöw (who co-wrote and produced Icona Pop's hit single "I Love It" as Style of Eye) to remix Miike Snow's "Animal," the two continued to collaborate until ultimately Galantis was born. Following their first blockbuster performance at 2014's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and their debut single release "Smile" that same year, the duo quickly rose to become one of dance music's most dynamic and in-demand live performers.
Amidst a year's worth of sold out headline shows around the world and collaborative singles (including "Bones" featuring OneRepublic), the chat-topping duo worked on what would become their highly anticipated third studio album Church, due next year via Big Beat Records. The album is preceded by arguably their most explosive collaboration to date, "Faith," with country music icon Dolly Parton and featuring Dutch singer-songwriter Mr. Probz.
Centered around a classic John Hiatt lyric, "Faith" is an uplifting call for unity and hope set to signature Galantis production. After making an expectedly long-shot call to Parton, her agreement to join the song resulted in Karlsson immediately flying to Nashville to cut vocals in person with the legend herself.
"I was on the phone with a Christian (Karlsson), talking about a song called 'Faith' and an album called 'Church'" said Parton of how the collaboration came to be. "I knew I was in the right place."
But for Galantis, the meaning behind Church and "Faith" extends beyond the words' surface - rather tapping into broader senses of community and inspiration.
"It's important for us to have meaning behind our music" explained the duo. "Our album 'Church' doesn't necessarily refer to a building or specific religion, but instead to people banded together in similar belief. Whether it's advocating peace, change, or just lifting each other up - that is our 'Faith' and 'Church.'"
As they enter their seventh year, Karlsson and Eklöw continue to evolve sonically with no end in sight. Now with over 3 billion cumulative worldwide streams and over 1 billion video views, the pair are primed to take their infectious, feel good energy to an even larger global audience.
