Kungs — March 2026

Valentin Brunel — performing as Kungs — is a French DJ and producer who emerged from the south of France and achieved one of the most commercially improbable breakthroughs in electronic music when 'This Girl' (vs Cookin' On 3 Burners) became a global phenomenon. Built on a sample of the Melbourne group's 'This Girl,' his 2015 edit entered charts across Europe before mainstream media attention arrived, accumulating 6.5 billion streams and earning 13× Diamond certifications across territories — a streaming reach that belongs to a small group of electronic music producers who crossed over into pop radio without pursuing a traditional major label path. 'This Girl' reached number one in France, Belgium, and multiple other European markets while peaking inside the top 10 across the UK, Australia, and Ireland. His debut album LAYERS continued the momentum, and his second album CLUB AZUR — described as a love letter to club culture — cemented his transition from overnight viral success into a producer with a defined sonic identity: melodic dance-pop built on infectious vocal hooks, sun-drenched harmonic textures, and production polish calibrated for festival main stages and radio simultaneously. His festival appearances have covered major European events including Tomorrowland, Lollapalooza Paris, and Dour Festival, building his live performance reputation alongside his production catalog. His 2026 residency at Palm Tree Beach Club at MGM Grand — the Tao Group dayclub co-founded by Kygo — places his bright, melodic dance sound within the sun-soaked outdoor pool environment where tropical-inflected dance-pop works most naturally, reaching the Las Vegas pool party audience that overlaps with the pop crossover listeners his streaming numbers represent.
