Dance-pop artist and DJ Alex Chapman has released his new tongue-in-cheek “HORSEY” featuring pop sensation Kim Petras.
“HORSEY” featuring Kim Petras is as much a response to smash club hits suc as Duck Sauce’s “Barbara Streisand” as it is a love letter to queerness.
“I’m so excited for people to hear this song,” shares Alex. “It’s my introduction as an artist in a way, and it tells you what I am all about— dance music, having fun, and high-quality stupidity.”
Making a name for himself for commanding dance floors at large scale events night-after-night and becoming a nightlife mainstay after spinning for the likes of Jeremy Scott, Dior, Moschino, Spotify, and many more, Alex Chapman opened for Kim Petras’ North American and European tours – becoming an overnight sensation in the process – before co-writing on her forthcoming debut album.
Receiving praise from Billboard, Buzzfeed, Paper Magazine, NYLON, and more for his early work as a DJ, and being called “a much-needed antidote to hip hop’s hypermasculinity” by The New York Times, Alex is dedicating his music to centering queer people and creating more space for individuality.
After entering the industry as a show promoter and music journalist, Alex has been on the frontlines of pop music experimentation ever since enrolling in a music conservatory and offsetting classical guitar lessons with pop music analysis.
Now, setting his sights on becoming “the gay Calvin Harris,” Alex has realized his ability to upend the pop structure after remixing tracks for artists such as Slayyyter, Zolita, and Gia Woods, and has found his identity as the ultimate escape artist – allowing listeners to experience the freedom of losing themselves in fun.
“Horsey” is available on all streaming platforms, and you can follow Alex on Instagram here.
