Worldwide bookings: [email protected]

In an ever-expanding global electronic music scene with new artists appearing every day, it takes nothing short of raw talent to stand out. As Canadaā€™s leading Trance artist, Somna took the #45 spot in the DJTOP100 (TrancePodium 2019) making him the highest Canadian within the top 100. His music can be found on the biggest trance labels in the world including Armada Music, Enhanced Music, Coldharb

our Recordings, Garuda Music, Future Sound Of Egypt, AVA Recordings, Black Hole Recordings and Perfecto. One of few trance artists bypassing 200,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, Somnaā€™s music regularly finds itself on the playlists of Armin Van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Markus Schulz, Ferry Corsten, Gareth Emery, Cosmic Gate and more. Reaching beyond his talents of songwriting, Somna is also a highly sought-after remixer, having remixed for the likes of Markus Schulz, BT, Paul Oakenfold, Andy Moor, Menno de Jong and Lange

As a performing artist, Somna fuses together traditional mixing with current technologies in a way that creates an atmosphere for fans into a journey of what trance is truly about. His experiences with prior aliases over the years has led to performances at Global Gathering, Creamfields, Coloursfest, Eden (Ibiza), The Arches (Scotland), LoveFest (USA), and shows across Canada, UK, USA, Japan, Spain, Australia and New Zealand. As Somna, he has taken his music to the main stage at Dreamstate in Southern California, Colosseum in Jakarta (Indonesia), Womb in Tokyo (Japan) and events in Norway, Netherlands, Switzerland, Mexico, United States, United Kingdom and Canada. Just a peek into support from the worldā€™s top trance DJs includes regular premieres on universally popular podcasts such as A State Of Trance, Group Therapy, Corstenā€™s Countdown, Global DJ Broadcast and more. Recognition from A-list DJs include Armin Van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz, Paul Van Dyk, Gareth Emery, Andy Moor, TyDi, Lange, Cosmic Gate, Paul Oakenfold, Guiseppe Ottaviani, Heatbeat, Mark Sixma and many more. The abundance of support stands as a true testament to the quality of Somnaā€™s music. As a prolific multi-genre producer and engineer, his track alongside Andy Moor ā€œOne Thing About Youā€ featuring Amy Kirkpatrick, reached #1 on Beatport and stayed in the top 10 for three weeks. Adding to Somnaā€™s Beatport success, ā€œOne Thing About Youā€ won the 2015 award for the most streamed trance track on Beatport.

2015 and 2016 also saw multiple Somna releases reach the top 10 on Beatport, with tracks featuring the likes of Jennifer Rene & Michele C. To mark Lange Recordingsā€™ 200th release, Somna was invited to team up with Johnny Yono and Monoverse. The result was ā€œHijackersā€, a triple threat labor of love which reached #3 on the Beatport charts. During these years, Somna also made two label debuts (Armada Captivating and Future Sound Of Egypt Excelsior) and joined the trance elite as he had the honor of mixing a 3 disc compilation alongside Andy Moor for AVA Recordingsā€™ 10 year anniversary. Coupled by a truly rare triple play on A State Of Trance (episode #791), 2016 was fantastic year for Somna. His success carried over into 2017 as Somna showed no signs of slowing down with the Canadian hitting 140,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and a yearly collected data showing a staggering 13.4 million plus minutes streamed for his music on the #1 streaming platform.

2018 was a powerhouse year for Somna with a new single on Armadaā€™s Captivating label, hitting the landmark 1 million streams for his single ā€œLook Backā€ on Spotify and debut appearances in Jakarta (Indonesia), Oslo (Norway), Zurich (Switzerland) and Amsterdam (Netherlands). Somnaā€™s 2019 started on a high with a ā€œProgressive Pickā€ winner on A State Of Trance and with ā€œRazorā€, signed to Armin Van Buurenā€™s personal label Armind Recordings. 2019 also marked a debut on Gareth Emeryā€™s Garuda Recordings with two high energy singles as well as delivering remixes for Markus Schulz and Lange. Continuing upwards, Somna teamed up with HALIENE for ā€œSecretā€ to critical acclaim, receiving triple plays on A State Of Trance and an official music video. On the performance front, Somna debuted in Mexico City as well as the prestigious Dreamstate festival main stage in Southern California where he treated fans to world exclusive sneak peeks of his forthcoming artist album. Closing the year with the landmark 300th release from AVA Recordings with his collaboration with Andy Moor, Somna cemented himself in the scene as one of the most exciting trance artists to emerge this decade.

2020 saw ā€œBeside Youā€ ā€“ Somnaā€™s debut artist album finally released on Black Hole Recordingsā€™ Magik Muzik imprint to critical acclaim. Capturing ā€œalbum of the monthā€ in Mixmag and topping the charts in a variety of countries, Somna painted a canvas of music that impacted fans from around the world. While the unfortunate events of the pandemic caused his album tour plans (USA, UK, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan) to get cancelled, Somna took to new avenues to share his music. Finding his feet swiftly as a partner on the Twitch streaming platform, his channel has grown exponentially with a dedicated community and fan base with over 11k followers. Combining his flair for humor, a catalog and production history spanning multiple genres, Somnaā€™s channel continues to innovate and connect fans to his music weekly. As the label manager, A&R and co-owner of AVA Recordings, Somna continues to make strides while playing an important role within the scene. His bi-monthly radio show entitled ā€œReanimate Musicā€ broadcasts every first and third Wednesday on Digitally Imported (di.fm), the #1 online dance radio station in the world. Somna continues his artistic journey in 2023 with his second album and furious momentum propelled by his passion to create music that speaks to the soul.
