Recognized as one of Billboard Dance’s 100 Artists of 2018, Houston-born, Los Angeles-based producer/DJ KAYZO, née Hayden Capuozzo, is one of the fastest-rising electronic artists of this decade. His versatile sound and experimental style is defined by a stimulating cross-genre blend of rock theatrics and electronic futurism, as heard on his debut artist album OVERLOAD.
Released January 2018 on his own Welcome Records, distributed by Ultra Music, ‘OVERLOAD’ to date counts more than 7 million streams on Spotify alone. Elsewhere, his 2018 remix of the 2000 alt-metal smash hit “Last Resort” from nu metal icons Papa Roach has amassed more than 4 million Spotify streams, while his dubstep-fueled track “Wake Up,” a collaboration with RIOT, counts more than 13 million streams on Spotify, with an additional 3 million plays on SoundCloud.
KAYZO has also collaborated with and remixed for electronic giants like DJ Snake, Steve Aoki, and SLANDER, among others. In 2018, KAYZO joined the coveted roster of Ultra Music, where he released “Forever,” in collaboration with Gammer, as his debut single for the label, with more music scheduled for future release.
In 2016, KAYZO founded his own artist-run imprint, Doghouse Recordings, which he later relaunched as Welcome Records in 2017. On the live front, he’s performed across the world’s top venues and festivals—including Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Tomorrowland, EDC Las Vegas, Electric Zoo, Voodoo, and more—in addition to his own headlining tours.
He’s also hosted numerous Doghouse Takeover shows—large-scale events based on KAYZO’s Doghouse brand— across the country, including a sold-out performance at the iconic Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles in 2017.
In 2019, KAYZO will expand the Doghouse Takeover series on a national scale.
