When it comes to trance music, DJ Bjorn Akesson is a name that is sure to come up in almost any conversation. Born and raised in a small town in eastern Sweden, the 35-year-old has carved out a hugely successful career as a DJ and music producer in the hyper-competitive world of electronic dance music (EDM).

His ascent to EDM stardom began in 2008 when he was signed to Armada Music, one of the world’s biggest dance music labels. His first release, “Perfect Blue,” was a hit and marked the beginning of his rise to fame. Since then, he has released many successful tracks and has played at major festivals and clubs across the world.

But despite his fame and success, Akesson remains humble, grounded, and dedicated to mastering his craft. His passion for music started at an early age when he played the guitar and piano and listened to various music genres. However, it wasn’t until he came across a trance music CD that he fell in love with electronic dance music.

Akesson takes pride in being one of the few artists in the trance music scene to have worked with so many other prominent DJs and producers. He has collaborated with the likes of Cosmic Gate, Jorn Van Deynhoven, and Orjan Nilsen, among others.

“I believe collaborations are essential because they help artists to learn from one another and continue to push the boundaries of music,” Akesson stated in a recent interview.

Beyond his collaborations with other artists, Akesson’s radio show, “Akesson Radio,” has also garnered critical acclaim. The weekly show features new releases and guest mixes from artists in the trance community and is known for its high-quality production and seamless mixing. The show has helped to solidify Akesson as one of the leading figures in trance music and has aided in promoting lesser-known artists in the genre.

Offstage, Akesson enjoys spending his spare time with his loved ones and practicing martial arts. He credits the practice with helping him stay focused and clear headed both on and off the stage.

Akesson’s impressive achievements in the world of EDM serve as an inspiration to fans and aspiring DJs alike. With his passion, dedication, and unwavering commitment to his craft, it’s clear that he is here to stay and will continue to move crowds with his music for years to come.
