Daniel Chien better known as Wax Motif is regarded as a major orchestrator in developing the house sound across the US. With musical influences like R&B, disco and U.K. bass, the Australian-born, LA-based producer brings a unique style to the studio, making him a highly sought-after producer.
In late 2019, Wax founded his very own imprint, Divided Souls Records, with the lead single for the imprint of the same name, “Divided Souls” Ft. Diddy. The imprint has first and foremost served as a home for the Wax’s hot streak of solo originals, as well as a collection of collabs, including Diplo, Matroda, AC Slater, 220Kid, Euro Trash and manymore.
Wax coming off his 2022 debut album release, House Of Wax, that has accumulated over 33 Million streams. The album incorporates electronic music euphoria as easily as it does hip-hop swagger, journeying through meditative, chilled-out vibes, summery, highway-cruising bops, and dance floor bangers.
Wax’s music has made the it to the decks and supported by acts such as Lee Floss, Dom Dolla, James Blake, John Summit, Solomun, Meduza, MK, FISHER, Chris Lake, CID, Don Diablo, and Zhu. Wax also flipped Drake’s Honestly Nevermind, yielding radio support and co-signed by Gordo.
2023 the horizon is only brighter with already having slated records with Repopulate Mars and Nervous Records in first few months. Wax has several additional IDs that are circulating the internet and social media, only waiting to be released in the near future.
