A week after the official release of his very first E.P., 14-year-old Dutch prodigy Erik Arbores was already featured in Billboard magazine. His ‘Take It’ E.P. went straight to number one on the Dutch iTunes chart, beating names like David Guetta, Adele and Coldplay.

One of the three tracks featured on the E.P., ‘Bliss’, entered the overall Dutch charts at number 20 and is also being supported by US radio stations like Sirius XM. DJ Austin Kramer recently debuted the track on his ‘Fresh Friday’ show on Sirius XM’s dance-dedicated BPM channel, and has it on rotation now.
Besides being a talented producer, the youngster is also a prodigy in science. Erik skipped four classes and passed his high school exams at the age of 13, five years before the average age in the Dutch school system. He is now studying Applied Physics at the Delft University of Technology and is signed to Armada Music.
