At the tender age of 13, 3LAU and his family relocated to the bright lights of Las Vegas, Nevada, where he spent most of his formative years. He attended The Meadows School for high school before venturing to Washington University in St. Louis for his higher education.

Personal Life

There have been whispers linking 3LAU to the beautiful American actress Emily Rudd, but he has not confirmed the veracity of these rumors.

As of 2022, it seems that 3LAU is flying solo. This assumption is based on various clues, including his recent social media activity and interviews.

In a recent interview, 3LAU mentioned that he is “not looking for anything serious right now,” which, combined with his social media posts that often depict him enjoying the company of friends or flying solo, indicates that he is currently unattached.

Of course, this could all change in the future. As a young, successful artist, 3LAU may meet his match in the coming years. For now, however, it seems that he is content reveling in the freedom of being single.

Career

As a musician, 3LAU‘s artistry is characterized by his ability to seamlessly meld together disparate styles of electronic dance music, resulting in a unique and emotive sonic experience. His live performances are known for their dynamic use of sampling, which adds an extra layer of excitement and engagement for audiences. In his own words, 3LAU aims to use his music to inspire listeners to overcome feelings of isolation and connect with one another.

During a trip to Sweden in 2011, at the tender age of 20, 3LAU was first introduced to the world of electronic dance music. Upon returning to school, he felt a sense of dissatisfaction with the state of mashup culture and set out to create his own. His diligent experimentation and dedication to his craft paid off, and by the following June, he was sharing his creations on YouTube to widespread acclaim.

3LAU‘s rise to prominence in the electronic music scene was solidified in 2011 with the release of his beloved bootlegs Girls Who Save the World and All Night Long. His talent was further cemented with his triumph in a remix contest for his rendition of Tiesto‘s Work Hard, Play Hard.

As a burgeoning talent in electronic dance music, 3LAU launched his DJ career in 2012 with the highly-anticipated 3LAU Your Mind Tour. His debut album, Dance Floor Filth, cemented his status as a rising star in the American electronic music scene, leading to the release of Dance Floor Filth 2 later that same year.

In late 2013, 3LAU joined forces with fellow DJ Carnage for the Night Riot Tour, which was met with rapturous applause from audiences and critical acclaim. Jonah Ollman of Sound of Boston lauded 3LAU‘s live performances, noting their “mesmerizing blend of mashups, electro-house, and melodic voice samples [that] kept the youthful 20-something crowd enthralled and entertained.”

3LAU‘s first foray into European touring came in the summer of 2015, with stops in cities such as Barcelona, Berlin, and the iconic party destination of Ibiza. He then set his sights on Asia, embarking on his first continent tour and thrilling audiences in cities like Bangkok, Jakarta, and Tokyo.

In 2016, 3LAU established its record label, Blume, which made history as the first dance music label to operate strictly on a philanthropic basis. All revenue generated by Blume‘s releases is donated to charitable organizations.

Through his work with Blume, 3LAU has raised considerable money for the non-profit organization Pencils of Promise. This funding has been instrumental in the construction of a seven-classroom school in Guatemala, as well as the implementation of various clean water, education, and teacher training programs. 

3LAU has previously expressed his gratitude to Pencils of Promise for their assistance in building his first school, and in 2018, the organization was able to complete another school in Guatemala thanks to their partnership.
