Biografie
Hungarian DJ and producer Greg Katona's career has taken him across Europe and Asia and landed him a spot as one of the most sought after DJs in Beijing. His interest in electronic music began at an early age and was influenced by the sounds of Pink Floyd and Depeche Mode. He began his journey as a DJ in Budapest under the guidance of respected techno DJ Gabor Kraft and has since developed a heavy-hitting style of his own. Soon after he moved to Beijing in 2013 he had his first residency at one of the most popular nightclubs of the time, Spark. Since then, Katona has held residencies at Beijing's biggest clubs including True Color and the still infamous Elements.
In addition to his impressive list of residencies, Katona has performed representing huge international brands such as Budweiser, Marlboro, H&M, Armani, Chanel, and Lane Crawford. His professionalism and skill as a performer has seen him booked as the official DJ for several prestigious events including the opening ceremony for Beijing Fashion Week. His popularity in China has won him bookings throughout Asia with multiple shows in countries such as Indonesia, Myanmar and Vietnam. Katona's huge sound and talent on the decks hasn't been limited to clubs – he has performed at numerous music festivals including a six-city tour with China's popular Strawberry Music Festival. His 2016 tour of South Korea included a stop at the Spectrum Music Festival and back in Hungary he performed alongside Martin Solveig, Martin Garrix and Steve Aoki at Balaton Sound, which is one of Europe's largest outdoor electronic festivals.
Katona's skills don't stop at DJing; as a producer and a remixer he has released a constant stream of consistently high-quality releases. The bootlegs, remixes, and originals on his discography speak to his diversity as an artist and contain house, trap, electro and hip-hop to guarantee something for everyone. On top of his work as a solo artist releasing on Digital Empire Records, Ensis Records and Moon Records, Katona was a member of the duo The Shaggers, whose very first release, 'Let's Ride', made it to the 53rd ranked track on Beatport's Electro House Top 100. The duo, which is composed of Katona and South Korean DJ Billy Jang, met while performing at Spark and their mutual talent and styles led to the two joining forces. Aside from his performances as The Shaggers, Katona currently holds a residency at Club Elements, which is ranked 76th on DJ Mag's Top 100 clubs.
