WAX MOTIF

Daniel Chien, better known as Wax Motif, has become one of the most in-demand producers bridging house music and hip-hop on a global scale. The Australian-born, Los Angeles-based artist has built a reputation for blending R&B, disco, and U.K. bass influences into a signature sound that resonates across both club and mainstream audiences.

In 2024, he reached new heights as a co-producer on Ty Dolla $ign’s chart-topping album, TYCOON, which hit #1 in 80 countries within 24 hours, while also launching his Waxtroda project with Matroda, debuting with a sold-out set at Brooklyn Mirage.

Through 2025, Wax delivered a strong run of releases on his Divided Souls imprint, including Beatport Top 10 hits like ‘Gimme That Money’ and ‘Run It Up,’ alongside global collaborations such as ‘BOTA’ with MC Lan. These releases build on a catalog featuring fan favorites with artists like Zhu, Kyle Watson, and Camden Cox, earning support from Dom Dolla, John Summit, Solomun, Meduza, and Chris Lake, while maintaining a dominant presence across major festivals and club circuits worldwide.

Beyond his own releases, Wax has contributed behind the scenes with artists including G-Eazy, Tinashe, and Ty Dolla $ign, as well as work on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reboot. His 2022 debut album House of Wax has surpassed 33 million streams, cementing his ability to merge house, hip-hop, and R&B into a cohesive vision.

As he moves into 2026, Wax Motif continues to push the boundaries of modern dance music, solidifying his role as a global collaborator and cultural bridge across genres.
