Alesso
The Swedish producer who learned progressive house from Sebastian Ingrosso — and grew into one of the most emotionally lifting big-room voices of his generation.
Who is Alesso?
The full story of Alesso's rise, sound and signature catalogue.
Alesso — born Alessandro Lindblad in Stockholm, Sweden — is one of the defining progressive house producers of the past 15 years. Mentored by Swedish House Mafia's Sebastian Ingrosso in his teens, Alesso emerged in 2010 as one of the lead voices of a new wave of melodic, anthem-driven progressive house out of Sweden.
His 2014 album Forever delivered "Heroes (We Could Be)" with Tove Lo — a generational anthem that has earned hundreds of millions of streams. Alesso has continued to release standout records like "Years," "If I Lose Myself" with OneRepublic, and "Going Dumb" with Stray Kids.
From his early Refune Records releases to his current global tour schedule, Alesso has built a catalog that lives on the emotional edge of progressive house. Explore more progressive-house artists in the full DJ directory, or visit his official site.
