# Syn Cole

Rene Pais (born 25 March 1988), better known by his stage name Syn Cole, is an Estonian DJ and record producer. Some of his notable songs include "Miami 82" in 2013, "Bright Lights" in 2014, and "Feel Good" in 2016.
Born and raised in Pärnu, Estonia, Pais studied classical piano growing up and discovered synthesizers as a teenager, which led to his interest in dance music. He began producing his own music around 2004, eventually catching the ear of Swedish DJ Avicii, who signed him to his label Le7els Records in 2012. That same year, Pais headlined the Creamfields Dance Music Festival in the UK, further increasing his profile. His remix of Avicii's "Silhouettes" also reached number 20 on the Digital Top 100 Dance Remix chart in 2012.

## Early life

He attended music school from an early age and aspired to become a pianist. A friend made him listen to some famous dance tracks on cassette tape, and he fell in love with electronic dance music, turning into a producer when he was 19 years old. I started writing songs. He initially produced songs in the trance genre under the name "DNS Project", but then moved to his current house genre. He is influenced by classical composers such as German composer Hans Zimmer and John Williams, as well as electronic artists such as Daft Punk, and his songs incorporate many elements. After creating progressive house songs, he sent some demos to Avicii's Le7els label, but they were not well received at first. However, he did not give up and continued to send songs, and he sent a song called "April", which finally became a hit with Avicii and led to a contract with Le7els.

## Career

Pais started out on Avicii's LE7ELS record label and management. His singles and remixes have amassed over 1 billion total streams on YouTube and Spotify.

His second Avicii remix "Hey Brother" received both radio and DJ support across the globe. His first vocal single "Miami 82" (with remixes from Avicii and Kygo) reached Top 10 US Billboard Club Play chart and Top 20 on the Billboard Dance Chart. Billboard Magazine included it in their list 10 Best Electronic/Dance songs of 2014. In 2018 it was soundtracked for Sprite’s TV commercial featuring Blackpink. Pais released "Feel Good" via NCS record label in 2016. In 2017, a new version "Got The Feeling" was released via Sony/RCA, featuring kirstin from Pentatonix.
