Steve Angello (born Steven Angello Josefsson Fragogiannis; 22 November 1982) is a Greek-Swedish disc jockey, record producer and record label owner.[1] He is married to Isabel Adrian, who appeared in the Swedish reality show Svenska Hollywoodfruar; she is also a blogger and designer. Angello was a member of Swedish House Mafia, together with Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso.[2]

Biography

Angello was born to a Greek father and Swedish mother in Athens, Greece. Raised in Stockholm, Sweden, Angello began his musical and particularly DJing foray at 12 years of age.[3]

He started out as a Turntablist, fusing hip-hop, breakbeats and 1970s classics. By his late teens, Angello began getting into electronic music.[4] Angello discovered House music through the club scene in Stockholm together with his best friend Sebastian Ingrosso.

Background

Angello's claim to fame came when he released his remix of Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams" in late 2004. Since then, he has exploded onto the house music scene. With such signature Beatport smashers like "KNAS", "Rave n' Roll" and "Yeah" accompanying his infamous Size edits for Junior Sanchez and Tim Mason, and his of renowned remix of the Robin S. track, "Show Me Love", Steve Angello encompasses enough fame as a stand alone producer . Add astounding remixes for Pendulum's 'The Island' alongside industry peers Max Vangeli and AN21 and his own cut of Alex Metric's 'Open Your Eyes', his unassailable musical sights have truly made for an intense discography of assorted.

Angello produces under several different aliases. On his own, he has called himself Who's Who and released tracks called "Not So Dirty" and "Sexy Fuck". He often works closely with his childhood friend Sebastian Ingrosso on many projects. Aside from DJing together, they have also produced under the names Buy Now, Fireflies, General Moders, Mode Hookers, Outfunk, and The Sinners.

He has produced with Eric Prydz under the name A&P Project. Also, he has created a track with his friend Axwell under the name Supermongo, later renamed Supermode. They made a cover of an old Bronski Beat track, calling it "Tell Me Why". This was released via Ministry of Sound's Data Records imprint in summer 2006. He is equally famous for the track with Alex Metric "Open Your Eyes", a FIFA 12 track that has been very successful since the release on 13 September of FIFA 12. Steve Angello is also a member of one of the biggest EDM supergroups in the world, known as Swedish House Mafia, which is composed of Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Axwell. Under "Swedish House Mafia", they have produced massive hits such as "Save the World", "Antidote", "Greyhound", "One","Miami 2 Ibiza", and "Don't You Worry Child" to name a few.

As a producer, his style of production can mainly be classified as electrifying house music with theatrical and epic themes.

He also owns his own record label, Size Records, which houses many artists including Tim Mason, Qulinez, Third Party, Junior Sanchez, AN21 & Max Vangeli and supports releases by Tommy Trash, Arno Cost, Marcus Schossow, Moguai, Ivan Gough, Henrix, and Wayne & Woods.

Angello's own live presence has become an increasingly agile display of showmanship and turntable dexterity. Taking the reigns at infamous stages across the globe and boasting annual residencies for the White Isle's most prestigious night spots, not even Madison Square Garden has proven too daunting a task for his uninhibited live persona.

Angello's brother, Antoine Josefsson, is a DJ and a producer who goes by the name AN21.[5] Together they have released the tracks "Valodja", "Flonko" & "Swing N Swoosh". Steve Angello often tours with his brother, Antoine, with his partner Max Vangeli.

Size records

As well as releasing tracks through Subliminal, Data Records, Cr2 and Refune, and producing for Interscope Records, Angello is owner and founder of Size Records based in Stockholm, Sweden established in 2003.[6] Through Size he has released singles such as Gypsy, Isabel and Flonko to name a few. Size also represents artists such as Tim Mason, Funkagenda, Max Vangeli, Third Party, Qulinez, Wayne & Woods, Tiësto, Deadmau5, Laidback Luke, Sander van Doorn, Kris Menace, Kim Fai, Veerus, Thomas Gold, AN21, Avicii, Marcus Schossow, Boris Rush and Maxie Devine.

During 2012, it was noted that:

The Size Records family have had an exceptional summer. Spearheaded by Steve Angello, the roster have joined forces to play some of their biggest shows yet from Ushuaia in Ibiza to Central Park, NY.[7]

In that year also, Angello launched a new venture – Size TV, in which Angello "is allowing cameras to capture his personal life as well as the extended Size Records family. The monthly video series will document everything from the creative process that goes into developing dance floor hits to what its like to get word from Steve that you are signing a track to Size."[8]

In 2013 the label began a new project, an alliance with Brobot, said by Billboard magazine to be "the latest label from prolific dance veteran Junior Sanchez."[9]

In August 2013 Size Records observed its tenth anniversary with "SLVR" (pronounced "Silver"). a collaboration with Russian duo Matisse & Sadko. It was the 100th release on the Size label.[10]

Personal life

Steve Angello is married to Swedish model and TV personality Isabel Adrian[11] and they have two daughters, Monday-Lily, born in 2010 and Winter-Rose born on 6 April 2012. He currently resides part-time in Los Angeles.[12]
