RushLink and GreekFest Presents: Steve Aoki

RushLink (@therushlink) and GreekFest (@greekfest.co) are bringing Steve Aoki to the University of Alabama for the biggest concert Tuscaloosa has seen.

Counting nearly 3 billion music streams to his name, Steve Aoki is a true visionary. Billboard

described the 2x-GRAMMY-nominated music producer, artist, fashion designer, entrepreneur,

NFT futurist and Dim Mak Records founder as “one of the most in-demand entertainers in the

world.” A Guinness World Record holder for the “Most Traveled Musician in a Single Calendar

Year,” Aoki has performed at nearly every top festival around the world, including Coachella,

Ultra Music Festival, Lollapalooza, Fuji Rock Festival, Tomorrowland and Electric Daisy Carnival.

As a globally successful cross-genre solo artist, Aoki has collaborated with an impressive list of

varied artists, including BTS, Maluma, Snoop Dogg, Linkin Park, blink-182, One Direction’s

Louis Tomlinson, Machine Gun Kelly, Lil Uzi Vert, 2 Chainz and Daddy Yankee, on top of having released three Platinum singles, six Gold singles, and over ten Top 10 radio records. After unveiling four Neon Future albums, Aoki recently released HiROQUEST: Genesis, featuring collaborations with Taking Back Sunday, Mod Sun, Kane Brown and more.

Aoki approaches each new endeavor with the same sense of dedication he’s put into his past

achievements, including the Grammy-nominated Netflix documentary I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead

(2016) and his memoir BLUE: The Color of Noise (2019). In 2012, he also founded THE AOKI

FOUNDATION to support organizations in brain science and its research. His influential record

label Dim Mak, which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2021, is known for being a launching pad for the careers of prominent acts like Bloc Party, The Chainsmokers, Bloody Beetroots, The Kills, Zedd and Diplo. Most recently, Aoki created the A0K1VERSE, an NFT membership community, powered by the Passport, that welcomes his fans to both virtual and real-world experiences. Aoki is also executive producer for “American Hiro,” a series in development with FX Networks directed by Jon M. Chu, chronicling the life of his father, Hiroaki “Rocky” Aoki, the legendary entrepreneur and daredevil businessman who created the Benihana empire. In

whatever space Steve Aoki enters, the multi-hyphenate innovator continues to set trends and

inspire creativity on a global level.
