Dzeko

Canadian DJ Julian Dzeko, sometimes billed simply as Dzeko, was born May 3, 1992 in Toronto, Canada. He started his career as one half of the celebrated house DJ team Dzeko and Torres, but struck out on his own with the single “Liberty” in 2016. A busy 2017 found him remixing a number of tracks from other artists including The Chainsmokers and Coldplay duet “Something Just Like This”, Tiësto’s “Just Be”, and Post Malone’s “Congratulations”. He also released his own singles including “Never Gonna Leave Me”, “In Too Deep”, and “California”. He ended the year as a guest lecturer on the music industry at Harvard. His biggest solo success to that point occurred with the 2008 release of the single “Jackie Chan”. Recorded with Tiësto, Post Malone, and Preme, the song was a top 10 hit in Canada, the Netherlands, and the UK. Singles like “Popcorn” with Steve Aoki and “Halfway There”, yet another collaboration with Tiësto, followed in 2019. In 2020 he made a surprising genre leap with “Both Still Young”, laying his reliable house beats on a song by country superstar Keith Urban.
