Theres the committed, and then theres Martin Solveig, and for a man whos achieved so

much over the last 5 years, taking even one foot off the pedal is a concept the Frenchman
simply finds alien. With an innate ability to walk into a studio after some time out and then
to leave with brand new, fresh and fun sounding music, its no big shocker that Solveig Cant
Stop.

Hey Now the next opus from Solveig and a masterpiece of aural delight bearing all the
hallmarks of yet another summer smash is now here. Its the first record Martin has made
since The Night Out and its nothing short of massive! In 2013 Martin will take a more
spontaneous approach to delivering his music, collaborations and of course his videos.
Having spent three years dedicated to seeing his Smash project and of course his
collaboration with Madonna complete, its time to explore new landscapes, and jump on
opportunities as and when they arise. It seems there is no rulebook to which Solveig can
refer, so instead hell write his own!

Hysteria is the only word to describe what that big record did to the world and to Martin
Solveig. It catapulted the Frenchman from a well-respected DJ into one of the most
formidable producers and performers on the planet. The record, of course, was called
Hello and its gone on to clock up over 3 million in sales, win multiple awards, an array
platinum and gold discs and become one of the most synched dance records in recent times.
Adding to this winning run of achievements, Martin Solveig also laid down 6 tracks for
Madonnas 12
th
studio album M.D.N.A, released in early 2012, and accompanied the Queen
of Pop herself on her sell-out world tour one which saw Martin billed as Special Guest at
no less than 34 dates out of a staggering 88 shows, spanning Europe and North America.

His music videos are renowned as by far the best in their class and his performances
continue to electrify audiences in every corner of the globe. From playful DJ to superstar
producer, Martin Solviegs music is as animated as the man himself, so lets indulge in a spot
of historystill in the making.

THE HISTORY

Like so many, Martins love affair with music began at an early age. Influenced by luminaries
such as Prince, Lenny Kravitz, Stevie Wonder and Serge Gainsbourg, his eccentric taste and
non-conformist attitude have been the backbone of what he is today a multi-faceted artist.
He sings, he produces, he deejays, he acts and occasionally he dances too as well as a spot of
tennis.

Aged 21, Solveig started his own label called Mixture Stereophonic and released Heart of
Africa. The track went on to sell 10,000 copies, offering a clear signal to Martin that a career
in music was well worth pursuing. Martins first album, Sur La Terre released in 2002,
achieved critical acclaim and enabled the Parisian to work with Salif Keita for whom he
remixed Madan, one of 2003s biggest club anthems. The afro-disco bomb as well as
Martins new funk-driven Rocking Music both helped to catapult his career to a whole new
level.



Next up came the Hedonist album, packed with a ream of hit singles such as Everybody,
Jealousy and Rejection, and indicating quite clearly that Martin Solveig had well and truly
arrived. Cest La Vie, Martins 3
rd
studio album was another triumphant success, selling in
excess of 300,000 copies and winning over fans from far and wide.

In 2009, Martin was presented with two of the most prestigious accolades any Frenchman
could hope to win the Chevalier Des Arts et Des Lettres for his contribution to the arts,
and the Artiste de Musiques Electroniques de lAnnee award at the French Victoires de la
Musique further testament to his ever-growing popularity and truly forward-thinking
music style and creativity.

Martin entered 2012 putting the final touches on his preparations to release his latest
masterpiece SMASH, an album bursting at the seams with pure fun and frivolity, all
capped off with timeless trademark sounds. Involving the undeniable talents of Dragonette,
Bloc Party front man Kele, Sunday Girl plus US whirlwind DEV it brought Martin to new and
dizzying heights.

2013 ushers in another new era for Martin Solveig where not 3 months had passed before
he dropped his new record Hey Now with The Cataracs and featuring Kyle. With a slew of
new music and videos ready to roll out, a Las Vegas residency with XS secured and already
underway, plus a tour schedule meticulously mapped out to ensure everyone experiences
the Solveig magic, this could be his biggest year yet.
