SOFI TUKKER

Best friends Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern met in their final year at Brown University, Tucker played basketball, Sophie studied conflict resolution and Brazilian Portuguese, he was a DJ on the side, she played bossa nova, and one thing led to another. The New York dance-pop duo’s first single “Drinkee”, released in 2016, was a hit and nominated for a Grammy, as was their debut album “”Treehouse””, released in 2018, which catapulted them to global fame. Their daily DJ sets during the coronavirus pandemic, which were streamed live on Zoom, earned SOFI TUKKER a loyal fan base, affectionately known as “Freak Fam”, who turn their concerts into wild parties. Several number one singles, over a billion streams and features with Amadou & Mariam, Bomba Estéreo, Pabllo Vittar and Deadmau5 are proof of this: The university friends have long since become one of the biggest dance acts in the USA, and the “Freak Fam” will also go crazy on the Gurten.
