UK-born, Los Angeles-based producer, multi-instrumentalist and DJ BURNS unveils his latest release, 'Stars', featuring legendary British singer-songwriter Steve Winwood.
When it comes to producing, performing, and penning music, BURNS clings to a tried-and-true motto; that musical craftsmanship serves him well, both behind-the-scenes as a songwriter and in the spotlight as an artist. The UK-born, Los Angeles-based producer, multi-instrumentalist, and DJ has become an explosive and influential force in pop of late with work that is resonating far beyond the City of Angels.
His production work includes six songs on Lady Gaga’s Chromatica – 2020’s Album of The Year – including the global hit ‘Rain on Me’ with Ariana Grande, ‘Cabin Fever’ for Jaden Smith, ‘Make Me’ [Feat. G-Eazy] for Britney Spears, PARTYNEXTDOOR’s ‘Trauma’ as well as releases for Gallant, Louis Tomlinson, Ellie Goulding, Pitbull, the hit singles ‘Miracle’ and ‘Desire’ with Calvin Harris, and many more.

As an in-demand remixer and solo artist, he’s worked with everyone from Lana Del Rey, Charli XCX and JP Saxe, to Tove Lo, Calvin Harris and Rihanna. Influenced by everything from childhood heroes Daft Punk to A$AP Rocky, and everything in between, he veers between electronic expanse, hip-hop energy, and pop power with ease.
“This is what I’ve always been heading towards,” he explains. “It’s a cross between the organic and the digital, live instruments and processed sounds, and the simplicity of hip-hop production and the intricacy of house. I want to create music that works at a festival, in the club, in the car, or when you’re just chilling at home… when people hear the music, I want them to connect with it and feel like it takes them to some kind of memory or time.”
