Flume

Flume Bio

Taking on the stage name Flume is Sydney, Australia, native Harley Edward Streten, who was born on November 5, 1991. His introduction to producing music, specifically house music, came when he was a young teenager and opened a cereal box to find a production disc that allowed him to create simple mixes. From then on, he began to produce house music under the name HEDS, his initials, and created the tracks “Flow” and “Fizz” independently. In 2011, he participated in a contest led by Future Classic, an Australian record company, for which he submitted the songs “Sleepless”, “Over You”, and “Paper Thin”. The company liked him, and signed him to their label, through which Flume released his debut EP Sleepless.

In 2012, Flume released his debut self-titled album, which peaked at the #1 spot on the Australian iTunes charts and went double Platinum according to the Australian Recording Industry Association. The album was later released in the United States in 2013 through Mom + Pop Music, and received praise throughout the country. That same year, Flume announced the dates for his Australian tour, the “Infinity Prism Tour”. Shortly after, he was named by Fuse TV as one of the 30 “Must-See Acts” that would be performing at the SXSW festival that year.
