Biography

Combining dance music with post-rock, emo and ambient, UK-based producer Former Hero creates music around emotions rather than sticking to one genre. Personal and intimate yet upbeat at the same time, Former Hero encourages his listeners to dance through sadness. Being musically inspired for the first time at the age of nine when his brother got a cheap classic guitar for his birthday, Former Hero’s fascination for music only grew over the years. Listening to rock music as a teenager and playing in several bands, Former Hero first got introduced to dance music through Skrillex and Pendulum, while still listening to post-rock bands such as This Will Destroy and Caspian. With this varied pallet of musical influences, Former Hero started making electronic music himself under multiple aliases. These aliases never really seemed to connect until he realized that he could take his non-electronic music influences and contextualize them into something that worked in tandem with the upbeat music that he wanted to create, marking the birth of Former Hero.
