When one thinks of Electronic Music, Idris Elba isn’t the first name that comes to mind. However, that is changing. The celebrated actor has starred in a slew of Hollywood blockbusters, been a cult fan favorite to play the next James Bond, and even won a Golden Globe for his role in Molly’s Game.
Elba has been making career moves in the music scene for the last several years. He performed at Coachella in 2019 and has live sets all over the internet from his performances at reputable global dance halls. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, he has stated he will double down on music. Elba turns 50 this year.
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Elba discussed his desire to “lean away from acting work” to focus more pursuing a career as a DJ and music producer. The handsome movie star has stated:
“It’s very difficult to shoot a movie and then go off into the studio or make a a song. It’s like trying to build a soufflé while making a brick wall…. I’ve dealt wit the internal struggle of that over the years. So now I’m at peace and I’ve chosen: This is what I’m doing, and I’m going to do it.”
We at EDMTunes welcome new creators and DJs to the scene. And Idris, we hope that you continue to make us dance our faces off.
