“Livin’ The Life” on Universal Music Group, the single has crossed 2.5 million audio streams while the music video has been
viewed over 5 million times on

for a brand new artiste with an English song!

success story, the single is now officially remixed by world renowned Dutch DJ

elevates the song further and takes it to a whole new level. To support the

channel.

be released Worldwide on 3rd
March`17 on Universal Music

Recordings which is home to some of the biggest dance records from artists
including Tiesto, Alesso, Jonas Blue, Afrojack, SEEB, Sigma, Axwell / Ingrosso,
