Calvin Harris Plans Transition From Djing To Producing Music

Harris plans to DJ for 10 more years before transitioning to studio work.

Fans of Calvin Harris may need to seize the opportunity to see him live sooner rather than later, as the Scottish DJ recently hinted at a limited timeframe for his DJing career. Turning 40 last month, Harris shared in an interview that he envisions continuing to DJ for approximately the next 10 years.

Reflecting on reaching this milestone age, Harris expressed that while it feels good, he wasn't particularly enthusiastic about turning 40. He humorously mentioned resorting to researching anti-aging supplements in the lead-up to his birthday and playfully noted the energy of his wife, Vick Hope, whom he married in September 2023.

Looking ahead, Harris disclosed that he doesn't foresee himself DJing past the age of 50, citing a preference for transitioning to studio work, particularly in producing music for other artists. Emphasizing his talent in making songs sound good, Harris expressed a desire to focus on enhancing the sound of others' records once he steps away from the DJ decks.

While Harris plans for a potential shift in his career in the coming years, he continues to enjoy success both as a DJ and a producer. Notably, he achieved a No. 1 hit in the U.K. last year with the Ellie Goulding collaboration 'Miracle' and followed up with another top-10 hit with Sam Smith on 'Desire.' His latest single, 'Lovers in a Past Life,' featuring Rag'n'Bone Man, has already made its mark by reaching the top 20 on charts.

As fans eagerly anticipate Harris's future projects and performances, they can relish the opportunity to witness his DJing prowess for the next decade before he potentially shifts his focus to producing music for fellow artists.
