Биография

Hailing from Chelmsford in Essex, Gold Panda started writing beats and collaborating in 2009, beginning a decade-long journey that has seen an award winning and zeitgeist-defining debut record, a nomadic follow up and a third record that found himself re-centering himself emotionally and musically via a spell in the far east. He recently released a new collection of songs “The Work”. Gold Panda first came to prominence by way of a collection of instantaneously raved-about remixes, including the likes of, Bloc Party, Simian Mobile Disco, Health and The Field. In 2010 Gold Panda released his debut album Lucky Shiner. A culmination of years of work spent refining his sui generis sound, the record was released to huge critical acclaim, culminating in the Guardian First Album award the following year. In 2013 Gold Panda released his eagerly-awaited follow-up album ‘Half Of Where We Live’, further developing his take on emotionally infused, warm electronic music. Again the release was hailed by critics and the record-buying public alike. A three-year gap followed before his third album ‘Good Luck And Do Your Best’ which was inspired by a series of trips to Japan, and complimented by a visual collaboration with award winning photographer, Laura Lewis. Tracks like ‘In My Car’ have gone on to be the most successful of his acclaimed career so far. Most recently Gold Panda released ‘The Work’ in late 2022, his fourth long player featuring tracks including ‘The Dream’ and ‘The Corner’.
