The Chainsmokers Bio
Electro house duo The Chainsmokers was formed in 2012 in New York by Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall. They rose to fame as a songwriting, DJ/production duo who remixed popular songs from well-known indie bands. In 2012, they released the song “Erase” with actress and artist Priyanka Chopra, which they followed with the track “The Rookie” the next year. It was not until 2014, however, that The Chainsmokers experienced a breakthrough when they released the single “#selfie” for free in late 2013. Due to the attention they gained from the single, they were signed to Dim Mak records, who re-released the track in early 2014. They later signed a contract with Republic Records. The single “#selfie” went on to chart at #2 in Sweden, #3 in Australia, and at #16 in the United States.
