Biography
Calfan was born in 1990 and hails from Paris, France.[2][3] In 2008, he was discovered by Bob Sinclar who was also noted as one of the most promising artists of his label Yellow Productions.[4]
In late 2011, the Swedish DJ and producer Axwell incorporates his record label Axtone Records for the release of "Resurrection" which in turn became his greatest worldwide hit, reaching the first place for more than a month in the list of sales of the digital portal Beatport.[5]
In 2012, Michael released the production called "Mozaik" through Stealth Records, Roger Sanchez's label,[6] and made outstanding remixes of David Guetta's singles "Turn Me On" and "She Wolf (Falling to Pieces)" and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike's single "Momentum".[7]
In 2013, he released the productions in collaboration with Swedish DJ John Dahlbäck and Dutch DJ Fedde le Grand and plans more releases for Axtone Records.
In 2014, he released the single "Prelude" through Spinnin' Records (he entered the Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay)[8][9] and "Treasured Soul", which reached number 17 in the singles chart in the United Kingdom in April 2015.[10][11]
