About Calvin Harris

Adam Richard Wiles—more popularly known as Calvin Harris—is a Scottish record producer, DJ, singer, and songwriter. Starting his musical career at 18, he released two 12-inch singles in early 2002 under a then stage name “Stouffer”. But his popularity only started to rise in the mid-2000s following the posting of several homemade solo recordings to his Myspace profile. These led to a contract with EMI, Three Six Zero Group, and Sony MBG in 2006. A year later, and with a new stage name “Calvin Harris”, he released his debut album, I Created Disco.

The popularity of his up-tempo songs opened new opportunities for Calvin Harris and he has since released a total of five studio albums, one mix album, nine extended plays, 44 singles, 12 promotional singles, and 40 music videos. He has also collaborated with some of the biggest names in music, including Rihanna, Ellie Goulding, and John Legend. He continues to produce new music and perform all over the world, making him one of the most in-demand DJs today.

We Found Love
2011, Talk That Talk

It’s the way I’m feeling I just can’t deny
But I’ve gotta let it go
We found love in a hopeless place

Feel So Close
2011, Feel So Close

Your love pours down on me surround me like a waterfall
And there’s no stopping us right now, I feel so close to you right now

I need to be free with you tonight
I need your love

Featuring Ellie Goulding on vocals, “I Need Your Love” is a mid-tempo track that’s perfect for those who want to keep the energy up but still have a moment to catch their breath.
