Dutch artists Chico Rose and Afrojack has delivered hit tunes as steady as the clock, which reached a climax last year when the guys released 'Sad', a hit record that by now counts over 46 million Spotify streams and over 5 million views on YouTube.

Chico spent years of hard work to make new music. He released his first single 'Play On' on Vato Gonzalez' Dirty House Records in 2014. After that, he released tracks on several labels, including Nicky Romero's Protocol Recordings and Afrojack's Wall Recordings. By then well-known DJ's in the scene started supporting Chico's music, including Afrojack who featured Chico in his sets for the last year and even decided to get Chico on his team.

Their collab track 'The Great Escape' turned into a huge success and was followed by more team-ups. Chico played on some major festivals like Ultra Music Festival (Miami), Tomorrowland (Belgium), EDC (Las Vegas) and Untold festival (Romania). After five successful years under the stage name Ravitez, he recently decided to use his real name (Chico de Reus) and continue making music as Chico Rose, leading to new releases like 'Where Did The Love Go', 'The Bass' and the global hit 'Sad', featuring Afrojack.

Throughout the years, he has worked with everyone from Pitbull to Sting and Beyoncé, won a Grammy for his and David Guetta's remix of Madonna's 'Revolver', and released an array of diverse hits. This year, having just released multiple collaborations, Afrojack continues to follow suit, and dominate dance floors across the globe.
