Who is The Chainsmokers?

The New York duo who made future-bass pop a stadium phenomenon.

The Chainsmokers — Andrew "Drew" Taggart and Alex Pall — are the Grammy-winning American DJ duo who turned EDM-pop into one of the biggest sounds of the 2010s. Formed in New York City in 2012, The Chainsmokers broke through with the viral "#Selfie" before redefining their sound with "Roses," "Don’t Let Me Down" and the record-breaking "Closer."

"Closer," featuring Halsey, spent 12 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2016, and "Something Just Like This" with Coldplay became a global stadium anthem. The duo won the Grammy for Best Dance Recording with "Don’t Let Me Down" and have built a reputation as both hitmakers and relentless live performers.

Across albums like Memories...Do Not Open and World War Joy, plus a long-running Las Vegas residency, The Chainsmokers remain festival headliners worldwide. Explore more electronic music artists in the full DJ directory, or visit their official site.

The Chainsmokers built a bridge between the EDM main stage and the pop charts — and walked across it.
