Official Biography
From a bedroom in Chennai to the Spotify Global Viral 50. A decade in the making.
Jessenth Ebenezer started making electronic music at 14 years old in Chennai, India. His earliest productions were trap and future bass originals built entirely in his bedroom — one of which earned its first release through a music label and went on to rack up 25,000 views in seven days, being used in over 750 videos under a no-copyright license. For a teenager who had barely started, it was enough to change everything.
The early years were spent under various aliases, learning the architecture of the EDM world from the inside out — reaching out to curators, networking with artists, and absorbing the mechanics of a scene most people his age were just listening to. A big room bootleg of DJ Snake's Magenta Riddim under an early alias hit 100,000 views on a major Arabic Trap channel, his first taste of real reach.
His influences were clear and eclectic: Aero Chord, Skrillex, Goblins from Mars, SKAN, Unknown Brain from the trap world — and the towering legacy of Avicii, whose death left a permanent mark on him. It shaped the way he thought about music not as a career metric but as something that could genuinely change someone's life.
At 16, he connected with South African EDM prodigy Jayden Lewis through Facebook, and through that network, built relationships with some of the most important curators in the trap scene — including Idmon Yildiz of Trap City and Andre Willem of Trap Nation. He was learning the rules of an industry he intended to bend. One of the first people to believe in his music was Thomas Dern — a respected manager who had worked with artists like SKAN and Julius Dreisig — who heard demos and offered to manage him. The cost was beyond reach for a 16-year-old. Shortly after, Dern passed away. The loss only deepened Jessenth's resolve to see the project through.
Under the Someone Else alias, his first proper remix — a trap flip of THEY. feat. Wiz Khalifa's "What I Know Now" — appeared in 2018. A future bass remix of Bulow's "Sweet Little Lies" followed, charting on SoundCloud's New & Hot EDM list organically and crossing 300,000 streams, earning a pickup on MaxFiveBass (700K+ subscribers). Trap Nation's own Andre expressed support for a Clean Bandit remix on social media. The pipeline was opening.
On February 6th, 2020, Someone Else officially debuted with "Toss a Coin to Your Witcher" — a cover of the viral Netflix track from The Witcher, produced in collaboration with Dvbber Dvn (Robert Ramos and Ian Patrick Hill), two Pittsburgh-based artists who played a pivotal role in getting the track to release. Mike Gogno of Puretone Music connected the dots, pitching it to Magic Records as a cover release, which opened the door to a worldwide rollout. The track charted in 25+ countries, peaking in the top 10 in Italy, Ireland, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Israel, the UK and the Netherlands.
A 8D re-release followed via Magic Records, Nightblue Records and 8D Tunes — and went viral. It crossed the original release's tally in just three days, and on April 14th, 2020, the 8D version peaked at #12 on the Spotify Viral 50 — Global. Jessenth was 18 years old. He was the first Indian artist to ever chart on the Global Viral 50.
The magnitude of the debut hit fast. The track accumulated over 8 million views across platforms within two years. But 2020 wasn't just one release — it was a full statement of range. Someone Else returned with a collaboration with fellow Indian bass artist Hysaze, covering the Money Heist title track via Trap Town Records, which broke the Viral 50 in India and crossed 200,000 Spotify streams in 45 days. Then came his first Deep House originals — one co-signed by Day Dose of House and Deep Universe, and another via Magic Records' sub-label Feel It Too that became his first solo original to cross one million streams. The track was played in malls, coffee shops and cafes globally, generating thousands of Shazams from people who couldn't place it.
The year closed with "Hold On To Me" alongside Bangladeshi producer IMMENSE via Magic Records — a free-release track that was picked up by YouTuber Chloe Ting for her workout videos, pulling in tens of millions of views within weeks and driving a new wave of attention to the young artist.
2021 saw Someone Else cement his reputation as an artist who couldn't be contained by genre. Releases spanned Future Bass, Future Trap, Festival Trap, Melodic Dubstep and Rocktronic — with recurring collaborators including IMMENSE, Hellish, Noyze Jynx, PRIYANX and Jumper Keellu, alongside new additions to the roster. The year also saw the first remix of his own catalogue, when PRIYANX reworked "Hold On to Me."
His solo track "By My Side" received an exclusive premiere by Rolling Stone India's Anurag Tagat — making Jessenth one of a small number of Indian electronic artists to be featured in the publication. That same month, he appeared on One Man Made Music on his 19th birthday. The track "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," released via Tribal Trap's Endemic III compilation, marked his first-ever upload to Trap City — a milestone he'd been working toward since his early teens.
A collaboration with RVPTR, Peter Piffen and Future Boy via Essential Music was featured on CULTR Magazine and Trap City, praised for its festival-level energy. Another collaboration with IMMENSE landed on Berlin-based Essential Music and again earned CULTR coverage for its ILLENIUM-inspired sound design. By year's end, Someone Else had appeared on Rolling Stone India, CULTR, Trap City, YourEDM, EDM Press Japan, EKM.co and more — a press footprint most independent electronic artists take years to build.
2022 marked a deliberate pivot. After years of operating within the structures of external labels, Someone Else moved toward full creative autonomy — releasing through his own Wunderkind imprint and hand-picking the labels he worked with. The year opened with "Apocalypse" — a high-energy hardstyle collaboration with fellow Indian producer SIRUX that became one of his most critically received releases to date, featured on YourEDM, Rolling Stone India, Music Crowns, wEDM and CULTR simultaneously. Support from Adam Jasim at the Lost Lands festival brought additional international visibility.
What followed was a year of genuine range: a K-Pop cover on Enforce Korea, a Melodic Dubstep release with PRIYANX and Emelie Rachel, a Slap House track with Jumper Keellu, an experimental rock-trap collaboration with Peter Piffen via Rising Wave Records, and workout-trap releases with fitleague. pushing monthly listener counts back above 150,000 for the first time since 2020. A Lofi EP surfaced under his alternate alias, cryptic daylight. Two phonk releases closed the year, signalling yet another sonic direction on the horizon.
2023 opened with a phonk tribute to the Touhou Project fandom, followed by a surprise Pop Punk collaboration with Zaxo and Peter Piffen via TheSoul Publishing — the world's largest digital media company, behind Bright Side and 5-Minute Crafts — signalling that someone Else's music was travelling well beyond the EDM bubble. A festival trap single with Rising Wave Records, a return to Magic Records with Blvkstn on a phonk collaboration, and a lofi release under cryptic daylight rounded out an eclectic year.
The centerpiece of 2023 was "Destroyer of Worlds" — a solo original released via his own lostnfound recordings in October, which crossed 216,000 Spotify streams and 250,000 worldwide. It was a statement of intent: a fully independent release on his own label, on his own terms, performing at a level most label-backed releases don't reach.
Under lostnfound recordings, Someone Else has continued to build a label identity that supports a range of artists and aesthetics — with releases including "Seize the Day" (featured on the Dubstep Don editorial playlist) and "Comes Through" by Jumper Keellu, which found reach across African music blogs and platforms. The label is a genuine operation — not a vanity imprint but a creative infrastructure built to do things the right way.
Now based in New York, studying at NYU Tandon while continuing to build his catalogue, the Someone Else project enters its next phase with a body of work spanning 50M+ streams, 20+ Spotify editorial placements with 30M playlist reach, 2,000+ radio spins across 50+ stations, and 18+ labels across 195 countries. The decade of work isn't background — it's the foundation.
