Alex Pall started off his career as an inspiring DJ in New York. He started his career off as just a hobby, and later became serious about music as it had started to consume his life, giving it a real shot. His manager, Adam Alpert, knew his plans on wanting to accelerate more in DJing, so he introduced Pall to Andrew Taggert, thus creating the band now known as The Chainsmokers. They hit it off quickly, with their similar taste in musical styles. They were a match made in Heaven.
They started discussing their interests in music, what they listened to in their childhood, and also talked about their ambitions with music. With Pall’s experience in marketing and Taggert’s with producing, they were a force to be reckoned with. Taggart had moved from Maine and Pall quit his job and begin working together. They aren’t like most DJ’s, as they like to incorporate vocals in a lot of their songs. They wanted to find a way to stand apart from all the other Dj’s and artists who were doing the same thing, creating the same type of music.
Pall and Taggart like to write their own songs, using their life experiences and their emotional states. Their vision is to allow their fan base to connect with their music deeply. That is their goal and to not think of it as a way to pay the bills. They were extremely strategic in their sound, by not just sticking to electronic/dance genres, but to adding pop, hip-hop, and indie to the mix. Songs like “Roses”, “Don’t Let Me Down” and “Closer” really expanded their career, hitting it big. They have become one of the most popular groups in America, by their own style. They truly have pushed their boundaries to their sound and it has done nothing but helped them successfully. Nothing can stop this dynamic duo of The Chainsmokers.
