Pretty Lights

Description

Derek Vincent Smith, better known as the man behind Pretty Lights, has come a long way since his debut in early 2006. Beginning as a duo, the project downsized to a one-man operation after the release of Pretty Lights' full-length debut, Taking Up Your Precious Time. Since then, the Denver-based electronic music producer has gone on to play huge music festivals-- including Coachella, Electric Zoo and Ultra-- moving crowds with a blend of dreamy atmospherics, earworm melodies and infectious rhythms. These days, Smith employs a backing band, replete with a drummer, keyboardist and horn section. RIYL Tycho, ODESZA or The Glitch Mob.
