music technology & business

Louis has had a keen interest in electronic music from a young age. He first learnt to DJ at the age of 13 with the community youth group Bigga Fish but only began to immerse himself in the world of production and event promotion during his time studying at Leeds University. It was here that Louis grew a successful events series called Dilation, which quickly grew from 200 cap venues to 2000 cap venues and hosted the likes of Gilles Peterson, Todd Edwards, Ms Dynamite and Zed Bias to name a few.

Louis Greenwood makes up one half of the duo, Wayward, who have written music and produced with the likes of Calibre, Skrillex, Park Hye Jin, Catching Flies, Eliza Rose, and Chelou. On top of this, his own music has caught the attention of Apple Music, Gilles Peterson, Mary Anne Hobbs, Tom Ravenscroft, Annie Mac, Lauren Laverne, Mixmag, Dummy, Boiler Room and DJ Mag and this success has transcended onto the road with tour support highlights including Carl Cox, Marco Corola, Gilles Peterson, Gaslamp Killer and Maribou State, DJing at festivals from Glastonbury to SXSW via Space Ibiza and Fabric Room 1. He also A&R's for the electronic imprint Silver Bear which is building a solid following as a result of a string of impressive releases over the past 5 years.

Teaching has a been a constant strand throughout Louis’ adult life. From the age of 16 Louis began working at WAC Arts, a charity organisation aimed at providing access to the arts for students from disadvantaged backgrounds as well as young people with learning difficulties and special educational needs.
