stayc main image

If you haven’t heard of Danny Ocean yet, it's only a matter of time before his soulful beats and melodies capture your attention. Hailing from Venezuela, this singer, songwriter, and producer skyrocketed to mainstream fame, becoming a household name with his chart-topping hits and groundbreaking achievements in the music industry.

His breakout single, “Me Rehúso,” took the world by storm, surpassing 50 million streams on Spotify in a mere two months and eventually reaching an incredible milestone of 1 billion streams. This feat not only solidified Ocean's status as a global phenomenon but also made history as the first Latin solo artist to join the Spotify Billions Club.

But Danny Ocean isn't one to rest on his laurels. Despite “Me Rehúso” breaking records and dominating the airwaves, Ocean continued to push boundaries and explore new musical territories. His second album, @dannocean, showcased his versatility and creativity, with hit singles like “Fuera del Mercado,” “Tú No Me Conoces,” “Pronto,” and “Apartmento.”

In an exclusive interview with For the Record, Ocean shared insights into the making of the newly released studio album, REFLEXA, and his profound connection to the music.

Describing REFLEXA as a labour of lust, love, and the desire for authenticity, Ocean revealed that the album is deeply personal and introspective, reflecting on themes of reflection and human experience. It's a departure from his previous work, both sonically and lyrically, as he experiments with new sounds and draws inspiration from diverse musical influences.

One of the key pillars of Ocean's success has been his partnership with Spotify, which he credits for changing the game in the music industry. From promoting tour dates to facilitating album pre-saves, Spotify has provided Ocean with invaluable support in connecting with his fans and sharing his music with the world.

Looking ahead, Ocean has his sights set on collaborating with legendary producer Max Martin, expressing his admiration for Martin's unparalleled talent and influence in the industry. As for aspiring artists, Ocean's advice is simple yet profound: stay true to yourself, stay authentic, and keep creating art that speaks to who you are.

REFLEXA promises to be a chart-topping addition to Danny Ocean's discography, showcasing his evolution as an artist and his unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of pop music. With its fusion of catchy melodies, introspective lyrics, and experimental sounds, REFLEXA is set to solidify Danny Ocean's legacy as one of the most innovative and influential artists of his generation.
