DJ Snake has been named GQ Man of the Year. This iconic award highlights the worldwide impact of his career and his influence in electronic music.
As one of the most influential DJs and producers right now this award makes so much sense, as he’s worked with the likes of Major Lazer, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, while his contribution to EDM is awe-inspiring. His touring schedule is also constantly stacked and his releases consistently break boundaries.
Additionally, his recently released album NOMAD features collaborations with the likes of Future, Travis Scott, Damian Marley, Dillon Francis and Don Toliver, further cementing his prolific reputation as a trailblazer.
The GQ Man of the Year award places him among a select group of public figures celebrated by GQ for shaping culture over the past year. The honour also underscores DJ Snake’s cultural influence beyond music, and acknowledges his efforts to introduce non-Western sounds into global music spaces. It also highlights his involvement in the fashion industry and other creative projects such as live events.
