Chris Holsten (born on May 4, 1993 in Lillestrøm, Norway) emerged on the international pop scene in 2014 after lending his uncredited vocals to Broilerâs Billboard-charting EDM hit âRays of Lightâ. The singer/songwriter has since gone on to become a platinum-selling artist, marrying R&B-tinged vocals with dance music soundscapes to create breezy, feel-good pop. Following a run of self-released songs in 2015 including his debut single âLayersâ and the follow-up âUnprovedâ, Holsten teamed up with French DJ/producer Arno Cost on âWaiting for Youâ, released via Nicky Romeroâs Protocol Recordings as part of Volt & Stateâs ADE 2015 mix album. Racking up millions of streams on the Rat City collaboration âOn My Ownâ the following year, he subsequently inked a deal with Warner Music Norway, with whom he began to release a prolific run of singles. These included âMEXICOâ, âIâll Be Alrightâ and the Madden-produced hits âEchoâ and âAll About Youâ, the latter of which peaked at number 98 in the Norway Top 100. In 2020, Holsten crossed over into reality TV, appearing on the Norwegian music show Hver gang vi møtes and contributing a new song, âShineâ, to the soundtrack for celebrity challenge series Familiens ære. He also released his debut EP, Cold Hearts, and secured his first top ten hit in Norway with the Frida Ã
nnevik duet âHvis Verdenâ, a timely, translated cover of Julia Michaels and JP Saxeâs âIf the World Was Endingâ repurposed for the coronavirus pandemic.
