The American producer who fuses metal-rooted emotion with melodic bass and trance into immersive sonic worlds.
Who is Seven Lions?
Jeff Montalvo turns bass music into emotional mythology, one immersive release at a time.
Seven Lions is the project of Santa Barbara producer Jeff Montalvo, a former metal and punk drummer who built one of the most distinctive voices in melodic dubstep, trance and bass music. His dense, layered productions feel closer to cinematic soundscapes than conventional club tracks.
A 2011 remix-competition win and his 2012 debut EP Days to Come — released on Skrillex’s OWSLA and topping Beatport — launched his rise. Releases on Casablanca, Anjunabeats and Republic followed, with collaborators from Ellie Goulding and Tove Lo to Illenium and Excision. In 2018 he founded Ophelia Records, named Dancing Astronaut’s Label of the Year for 2021.
Today Seven Lions headlines festivals worldwide and sells out his immersive Chronicles event series. Explore more electronic music artists in the full DJ directory, or visit his official site.
