Hedegaard

Rasmus Hedegaard Sørensen is the birth name of the Danish DJ and producer Hedegaard, whose European trance-pop successes and remixes for numerous prominent rappers brought him widespread notice. Initial attention arrived in 2011 when he posted a pulsing unofficial remix of Dr. Dre’s “The Next Episode” online, turning it into a viral European hit that drew tens of millions of views. Featured alongside Clemens on Jon Nørgaard’s 2012 single “Vi Ejer Natten,” he reappeared on the Danish charts through 2013 collaborations with Kesi and Birkkjær. The 2014 international streaming release “Happy Home,” which included Lukas Graham and a soaring melody, reached number one on the Danish singles chart while also registering in Norway and Sweden. In the same year his remix of “Twerk It Like Miley,” credited to Brandon Beal featuring Christopher, likewise climbed to the top spot. “Make You Proud” followed and landed inside the Top 30, after which the 2015 track “Smile & Wave,” again joined by Brandon Beal, peaked at number 12. A 2016 collaboration with Stine Bramsen of Alphabeat produced “Keep Dreaming,” and three further singles—“That’s Me,” “Go Back,” and “Ready to Love You”—appeared in 2017.
