Porter Robinson

Porter Robinson is an American DJ, record producer, musician, and singer from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Starting off making music online, he’d find his way to popularity and eventually hopping on to mainstream music by the end of 2010. After which he started gaining recognition from a lot of artists, notably signing on for the Spitfire EP on to Skrillex’s OWSLA label and getting commissioned for remixes from Lady Gaga and Avicii.

After making the song, Language, he started to grow tired of the way dance music was back at the time. He started exploring songs in a way he wanted to, ignoring the rules that he used to follow previously set by the norms for EDM. He eventually released the album Worlds with a live show for it with his own vision for it. The album mostly was about the theme of escapism, with every song being a world of its own. Robinson said he wanted everyone to have their own meaning for the songs instead of him giving a definitive meaning or story to every single one of them.

In January 2020, Robinson would announce his sophomore album, Nurture. As opposed to Worlds, Nurture would be an album about enjoying the existence that we live in. It was a result of his struggle to create music that he felt satisfied with. The singles released all had vocals by Robinson himself in them, the lyrics talking about the different things he had struggled through the past few years, but also standing there as proof that he made it through all of it.
