Audrey Napoleon

AUDREY NAPOLEON is a new arrival to the hallowed halls of dance-music production—she released her first track at the end of 2010—but she’s an established force behind the decks, thanks to her residencies at Los Angeles’ Avalon nightclub and the Music Box, as well as her stellar studio productions found on her debut EP Ornamental Egos due out this summer.

Even if you’ve never set foot in L.A. and you’ve never heard her name, it’s entirely possible you’re already familiar with her music—her track “#Mysunrise” serves as the soundtrack to a popular Heineken commercial that’s making the rounds, and NAPOLEON herself appears in the ad as both the headlining DJ and the love interest.

Energetic talent and grace like hers are rare in any profession. Match it with a keen instinct for electronic music, edgy personal style and a playful personality to arrive at one of today’s most gifted new stars. AUDREY NAPOLEON is simply electric. She started out exploring progressive dance music then moved through many evolutions, including minimal, to arrive at her buoyant signature sound which she labels ‘underground pop.’ She describes it as a dark romance and insists, “Nothing comes before my art and my music.”

Her lively stage presence is what sets AUDREY apart when spinning at top clubs around the world—destinations including Canada, the United Kingdom and Italy—which she claims is “one of the most magical places I’ve ever been.” AUDREY has now shared stages with an array of massive talent (she has looked up to)—from Richie Hawtin, deadmau5, Avicii, Wolfgang Gartner and Nic Fanciulli to Umek, Joris Voorn, Simian Mobile Disco, M.A.N.D.Y. and more. This summer she’ll appear on IDentity, the major electronic music touring festival.

“Music is a drug to me,” says AUDREY. “When I perform, it’s like I’m transported into the crowd. I act like a maniac on stage.”

Ornamental Egos is a full experience AUDREY’s production work with new tracks like “Poison,” due at radio May 29, “Only You” and “French Coat (Audrey’s D&B Version)” as well as previously released tracks “Carlos Martinez,” “#MySunrise” and “Bitchy Queen.” AUDREY admits to not really paying attention to trends. “Especially in music, I’m in the studio trying to carve out my own way,” she explains. Her latest EP is a testament to this.
Additional tracks in AUDREY’s repetoire include singles like “Banana Soda Es Muy Loca,” “Foxy Boxy,” “Bird Lynch,” featuring Penny and “Everybody Has The Right,” a collaboration with D. Ramirez on Toolroom Records.
