SONGWRITER AND PRODUCER
MARCUS LAYTON

From the shimmering hook of 'Cold in California', through the viral sensation of 'Wrap Me In Plastic' to the wide-open energy of 'Sweet Dreams', the Gold- and Platinum-certified artist Marcus Layton creates music built for connection - music that feels both personal and massive at the same time. His remixes for artists like Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, and Gorillaz have become staples in clubs and playlists alike, redefining how pop and electronic music collide. His breakout hit 'Wrap Me In Plastic' turned into a global cultural moment, amassing over two billion streams in China alone and igniting one of the largest viral waves in TikTok history. The song crossed borders, languages, and platforms, earning multi-platinum status and placing Marcus among the most impactful producers of his generation. It also soared to #84 on Billboard and Google's Top 100 Most Hummed Songs Worldwide, cementing its place in the global music landscape.

On stage, Marcus brings the same emotional clarity to the biggest rooms. From Lollapalooza, Burning Man to SonneMondSterne, his live sets blend precision with spontaneity - built for movement, release, and shared moments. Rooted in Berlin, Marcus creates from a studio that feels more like a laboratory than a factory. Between tours, he escapes to the ocean, surfing, chilling, and recharging. His music reflects that duality: grounded yet expansive, introspective yet made for crowds. In a landscape driven by algorithms, Marcus Layton continues to make electronic music that feels human. Marcus has recently stepped back to explore new directions and refine his sound. What’s emerging is a bold new chapter: genre-blurring productions, cinematic storytelling, and a fresh emotional depth. In 2026, his upcoming work promises electronic music that surprises, connects, and feels human - driven by curiosity rather than formulas.
