DJ-O is the debut album from Canadian musician DJ-O, which was released March 15, 2011.
== Background ==
DJ-O's self-titled debut has a very unique sound. He uses hip-hop drumbeats with distorted guitar riffs. DJ-O also had the idea of doing the album as "one track," interluding every track with each other (minus the bonus tracks). He also had the idea to break apart the album with different "scenes", the first being "When She Left" (centers around the emotions felt by the main character when his love disappears), the second being "When He Left" (centers around the point where the main character leaves to search for his love), and the last being "Back to the Beginning" (centers around discovery of his love and the rest of his life).
== Singles ==
*"Gone (Pt. I)" was released to pop, rock, and alternative radio on January 25, 2011. A rhthmic mix was then released to rhythmic stations February 15, 2011. It peaked at number five on both alt. and rock, number eight on pop, and number six on rhythmic.
*"Downfall" was released to alternative and rock radio on April 5, 2011. It peaked at number fifteen on both rock charts.
*"Back to the Start" was released to pop and rhythmic radio on May 10, 2011. It peaked at number twenty-eight on the Hot 100.
*"Chances" was released to alternative rock radio June 14, 2011. It has reached number eighteen on the Alternative Songs chart. It later was released to pop radio on September 13, 2011.
