Background

Since his humble beginnings he has gone on to become the richest DJ in the world, and a consistent artist you would play at the clubs and hear on the radio. This is amazing considering his first internationally recognized song We Found Love featuring Rihanna was released in 2011.

What’s new with Calvin Harris?

DJ Calvin Harris is currently a resident DJ for Omnia nightclubs, which have locations in both San Diego and Las Vegas. When he is not DJing for Omnia you currently find him working almost every weekend somewhere around the world.

Harris has announced that is no longer going to release anymore new albums in the future, and instead will only release singles. This is a very interesting marketing scheme, which could have big impacts on the music industry if he is successful.

Calvin Harris was dating singer Taylor Swift for a while, but a troublesome breakup left the poor man a little scarred, as fans we all wish him the best during this hard time. Perhaps we have been listening to him sing to Taylor Swift in some of his music for a little while, or maybe none of Calvin Harris’ songs (which tend to focus around the theme of love) are talking to anybody at all.
In short, what we can expect from Calvin Harris in the future is not too certain, but at least it appears he is sticking around and not going anywhere. We can depend on being able to see him live throughout 2017, but we will probably only see one or two new songs from him.

Here is what we heard from Calvin Harris in 2016:

  • This is What You Came For (Remixes) – Album.
  • My Way – Single.
