bio: BIIANCO is the Duke and Duchess of a new generation of electronic and dance music, seamlessly integrating their work as a producer, DJ, performing artist and social media mad scientist. BIIANCO’s London/LA transcontinental living situation has molded their sound into a unique blend of emotionally soaked dance music reminiscent of Jamie XX or Fred Again that somehow still sonically draws on the American house music scene they perform in regularly. At the end of the day, though, BIIANCO is known for their a mad scientist mastery of synths, vocals, production, guitar, bass and drums — and juggles them all effortlessly in their live shows and now-infamous Instagram and TikTok videos. If there is a common thread in all BIIANCO music, it’s emotional movement. They make music to dance through trauma to. It’s the soundtrack of a dying ego.
BIIANCO started their solo project in 2019 after a Joshua Tree Ableton desert retreat inspired an epiphany that they wanted to produce their own music moving forward. Since then, they’ve released a number of singles and, as of 2021, a full length mixtape (Mixtape #2) which featured collaborations with the likes of Luna Shadows, Kaleena Zanders, amo amo, SWIMM, TRACE, MOONZz, Jax Anderson and more.
In 2022, BIIANCO has emerged with a refined sound firmly planted in melodic house and a fast rising DJ and touring career to match. In the words of EDM Identity, “they have been on a steadfast grind to take the electronic dance world by storm.” They have already started releasing songs from their upcoming new mixtape (due out in 2023), like 2022’s ‘Close to Love’ featuring sad alex and their live schedule remains as full as ever with dates all over the US. They have still managed to collaborate on projects outside the dance genre as well, producing a 2022 alt-rock banger with MILCK, Ani Difranco and Autumn Rowe called “We Won’t Go Back” which dominated the rock Spotify playlists and became the official song of the 2022 DC Women’s March.
It would be remiss to talk about BIIANCO without talking about their online presence. They continue to stun in their social media, refreshingly presenting both influence AND authenticity. The combination continues to attract not only new fans but also big brand collaborations like Ray Bans, Arturia, Korg, Redbull, Vans, Izotope and more.
So how do you sum up BIIANCO? Well, in their own words, they’re just here to make music to “dance and ugly cry to.” In our words, they’re a revolution.
