Active musically since 2010, his music combines styles as diverse as trance, melodic dubstep, drum and bass, glitch hop, and electro house. He has released eight EPs, multiple singles, and official remixes for record labels such as Casablanca Records, Owsla, Viper Recordings, Anjunabeats, Republic Records and Monstercat.
It started early on in his life when, at age 7, his father brought home the family's first computer: a Macintosh and keyboard. After playing in metal and punk bands throughout middle school and high school, Montalvo segued into production in his late teens. After a friend gave Montalvo the program Fruity Loops, he began experimenting with industrial drum beats and toying with genre cross-pollinations.
Montalvo attended his first rave in 2007 and was immediately inspired to produce trance. Around 2010, he began releasing music under the moniker Seven Lions, mixing industrial drum beats with multiple genres. Not long after, his remix of Above & Beyond feat. Zoe Johnston’s “You Got To Go” served as his breakout hit and introduction to the EDM world. The track sat at #2 on Beatport's Dubstep chart for over 6 weeks, second only to Skrillex's remix of "Levels", with hundreds of thousands of listens on YouTube.
After releasing his debut Polarize EP under Viper Recordings in April, Seven Lions had several Beatport #1s (four in the dubstep chart) with remixes for the likes of Above & Beyond, Matrix & Futurebound, Paul Van Dyk and Delirium.
In 2018, Seven Lions founded Ophelia Records, an independent record label that releases various electronic dance music, including dubstep, psytrance, drum & bass, and melodic bass.
The name Seven Lions comes from a fantasy book called Latro in the Mist by Gene Wolfe, who he names as his favorite author. Seven Lions is a character in the book.
