Illenium Facts
- He was brought up in San Francisco and had relocated to Denver in 2013.
- He has recalled that he had made his first song ever with his high school friends, where he had created a beat and they all had fun rapping over it.
- Before attaining stardom, Illenium had coached lacrosse and delivered sushi in order to support himself.
- In 2008, he started making electronic music. In the summer of 2012, he saw the live performance of Bassnectar at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre and became so inspired that he made up his mind to give his full focus to music.
- He has disclosed that one of the wildest things he had ever seen happening in the crowd during one of his sets was when at a show, a girl had broken her nose on the rail as she was going so hard. He had tried to cheer her up by giving her free tickets to return the next night.
- Illenium has revealed that while playing a show, he has usually thought about the crowd and tried to gauge what the people are reacting to and how they are responding to different songs. He has gone on to add that he has been so focused and in-the-moment when he has DJed that it has been like meditation for him.
