## Biography

The idea for Trouze came about in 2014 when the trio first met at a Zedd showcase in Miami and connected artistically over their different musical backgrounds. Based across Singapore and Los Angeles, members of Trouze had very different careers before dance music. Trouze's music draws influences from the group members’ varying cultural and geographical influences.
In 2016, Trouze featured on "Age of Innocence" with Elephante and Damon Sharpe, a release on Armada Music that they wrote and provided vocals for. The track peaked at #18 on the Billboard Dance charts and featured remixes by Hellberg, Jenaux and Crankdat. In late 2016, they released their first standalone single "Intersection". They also released "Who Am I" a collaboration with Jonathan Wong in Asia and premiered it with a performance at the Compass Awards. This cross-over track features lyrics in both English and Mandarin and is Jovany's first time singing in Mandarin. "Who Am I" reached #2 on the TVB music charts in Hong Kong. In December 2016, they released the remixes to "Intersection" featuring remixes by Gazzo, Project 46 and Kodrin. The track has been featured by Sam Feldt and Quintino (DJ). They also closed out the year collaborating with Jonathan Wong again, releasing a dance mash-up, "心电图2016/Electrogram 2016" featuring 30 of the biggest chinese hits that year. The song reached #1 in Hong Kong on the TVB charts in January 2017.
