He lived in his hometown until 2008, when he decided he would rather live in Beverly Hills. Can\u2019t say we blame him, living in a mansion wouldn\u2019t be too bad.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"background\"><\/span>Background<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>DJ Calvin Harris has been active in the music industry since 2002, and is most known for his abilities at DJing, producing, singing, and songwriting. From his first official release in 2007, he has been on a pretty consistent level of success, but nevertheless has had a career of ups and downs.<br \/>\nSince 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.<br \/>\nSince his first internationally successful release DJ Calvin Harris has gone on to release many more great songs, although we might not be able to tell much about the future for him.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_type_of_dj_equipment_does_calvin_harris_use\"><\/span>What Type of DJ\u00a0Equipment Does\u00a0Calvin Harris Use?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Calvin Harris used a variety of equipment to record his debut album, I Created Disco.

When he is not DJing for Omnia you currently find him working almost every weekend somewhere around the world.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019 songs (which tend to focus around the theme of love) are talking to anybody at all.<br \/>\nIn 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.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"here_is_what_we_heard_from_calvin_harris_in_2016\"><\/span>Here is what we heard from Calvin Harris in 2016:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>This is What You Came For (Remixes) \u2013 Album.<\/li>\n<li>My Way \u2013 Single.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DJ Calvin Harris Profile (Calvin Harris receiving the Icon of the Future Award, Aug. 2016) DJ Calvin Harris is a modern DJ that is truly special in his own way, and has risen to prominence for a wide array of reasons, not just for being a DJ.
