Measuring success is something that can be easily done, especially in the world of music which can transcend geographical boundaries and sometimes even continents. Rufus du Sol is one of those bands whose music has managed to cross borders. Although they are originally an Australian band, their music is loved globally. It’s important to them because most of the world listens to music that comes mostly from America or the UK. The fact that Rufus du Sol can attract a large number of fans from all over the world is a testament to their talent.

Soil Rufus – Biography,

The origins of the band date back to a rainy day in 2010, when the three members, Jon George, Tyrone Lindqvist and James Hunt were on vacation in the seaside town of Byron Bay and decided to write a song. Realizing how great they sounded together, they chose to release two EPs. The first of the two was released on January 1, 2011.

The EP enjoyed mild success, with two of the songs charting on the Hype Machine charts and peaking at numbers 8 and 13. These two songs are Paris Collides and We’re gone. Just from this EP, they were nominated for a Vimeo Awards award in the category of Best Music Video for the song We’re gone. Their next work was published the following year to equal levels of success.

All about the group

Musical career

Following their 2011 debut EP, the band released their first full album, Atlas on August 9, 2013. Within three weeks of its release date, the album was already at the top of the Australian album chart. This was followed by a second album titled Bloom in 2016 and a third Réconfort two years after Bloom on October 19, 2018. The former reached number one on the album chart while the latter peaked at number two.

As a group, Rufus Du Sol has been nominated for more than ten awards and of these, they have won four. The first award they won was for their album Atlas and it was in the AIR Awards Best Independent Electronic Dance Album category. In 2015, they won Best Dance Album for the song You Were Right and It Was from the ARIA Music Awards. Two years later in 2017, they won Record of the Year for Single Innerbloom from the Electronic Music Awards.

Electronic music that is played live is rarely ever able to sound as good as the original recording, but Rufus du Sol has found a way to infuse live music elements into their recordings; this helped in the reproduction of these songs live. The ability to do so won them Live Act of the Year in 2017, an award presented by the Electronic Music Awards.

Composition of the group

The band is made up of three men and has had the same members since its inception in 2010 to date. They are Jon George, Tyrone Lindqvist and James Hunt. George plays keyboard, Tyrone is on guitar and also acts as lead singer, leaving James to play drums.

In 2016, the band had to move to Los Angeles as their career required them to move to the United States of America and that’s when they changed from the name RUFUS to Rufus du Sol. This change had to happen because the name Rufus was already a registered trademark in the United States.

Members of the group were able to convey their displeasure with the decision in a Facebook statement announcing the name change. Their move to the United States necessitated and influenced their decision to collaborate with other musicians. The idea was foreign to them as they worked very well in groups and felt that adding a fourth person might tip the scales.

However, they were able to work with Jason Evigan; he worked on some tracks on the Comfort Food album. Among its many successes in the United States, the group had the opportunity to appear on the Coachella stage several times.
