Early Life and Education

The album debuted at No. 1 on the ARIA chart and featured the triple-platinum single “Holdin On,” which introduced the innovative “future bass” sound to a global audience.

Building on this success, Flume released his second album, Skin, in 2016. The album won Best Dance/Electronic Album at the ARIA Awards and earned him a Grammy nomination.

It included international hits such as “Never Be Like You” featuring Kai and “Say It” featuring Tove Lo, solidifying his status as a leading figure in electronic music. During this period, Flume also co-founded the duo What So Not with Emoh Instead, active from 2011 to 2015, before shifting his focus to his solo career.

Flume continued to evolve artistically with the release of the surprise mixtape Hi This Is Flume in 2019, known for its experimental style, followed by the critically acclaimed third album Palaces in 2022.

His collaborations span a wide array of artists, including Lorde, Disclosure, Arcade Fire, Vince Staples, Damon Albarn, and Caroline Polachek, while he has headlined major festivals like Coachella and Lollapalooza and embarked on sold-out arena tours.

In 2024 and 2025, Flume toured with the innovative Flume & Friends residency concept and began teasing his highly anticipated fourth studio album.
