The story of Galantis started back in 2009. Working as Bloodshy, Karlssonâs songwriting collaborations have included Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Katy Perry and Britney Spears (whose âToxicâ earned a GRAMMY for âBest Dance Recordingâ). This collaborative nature led to the birth of the Galantis project which had its live debut at 2014âs Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and has continued on years later as one of dance music's most dynamic and in-demand live performers.
Setting a new standard for songwriting in dance music, Galantis is a collaborative project led by Christian Karlsson (aka Bloodshy, one-third of Miike Snow). Galantis' debut album Pharmacy reached #1 on the Billboard Dance album chart on the strength of RIAA gold certified single âPeanut Butter Jellyâ and platinum certified smash âRunaway (U & I)â â the latter of which earned GRAMMY nominations for âBest Dance Recordingâ and âBest Remixed Recordingâ â while the 2017 sophomore album The Aviary (featuring platinum certified single âNo Moneyâ) saw a top 10 debut in 23 countries. The third Galantis album Church features the chart-topping single âFaithâ with country music icon Dolly Parton featuring Dutch singer-songwriter Mr. Probz, which saw a #1 debut on Billboardâs Dance/Electronic Chart before quickly reaching #1 on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay Chart where it remained for 5 weeks.
