G.H. Hat is a multi-genre producer, remixer, composer and performer. Before gaining international success in the EDM/pop scene he released 290 classical compositions. Since then, he’s gained placement on multiple Billboard charts, breaking into the top 20 of Billboard’s DANCE CLUB SONGS (TOP 50) with each of his vocal EDM/pop tracks, as well as charting on Billboard's CLASSICAL CROSSOVER ALBUMS chart with his Piano Jams series.

He decided to enter the EDM arena in 2016, with his first EDM release “Primal”, an instrumental trip-hop song, which was on the Soundcloud Top 50 triphop charts for 14 straight weeks as well as his next trip-hop instrumental release “Joyogistic”.

Following “Primal” and “Joyogistic” G.H. Hat released “Piano Jam (Ode to Kygo)” which was the first of nearly 100 G.H. Hat songs to be picked up by one of Spotify’s official Playlists and has remained on it for over four years now. It’s also been picked up by over 4,000 user playlists. Fresh on the heels of “Piano Jam”, G.H. followed up with "Piano Jam 2" in 2017, then Piano Jams 3, 4, & 5 in 2021 & 2022. Spotify for Artists reports G.H. Hat songs have been on 15,500 listener playlists as well.

G.H. Hat entered into what he describes as his “Vocal Phase”, with the dance pop hit “I Got A Problem (I Wonder…)”. This song remained on Billboard’s DANCE CLUB SONGS (TOP 50) for 10 weeks and peaked at #16. It also spent 7 weeks on Billboard’s HOT SINGLES SALES peaking at #5 and enjoyed a 25-week run on various radio charts. “I Got a Problem (I Wonder…) [feat. Mickey Shiloh]” delivered.

Following the success of “I Got a Problem (I Wonder...), G.H. Hat released a second pop/EDM vocal hit called “Sukiyaki”. This song had a run of 10 weeks on Billboard's DANCE CLUB SONGS (TOP 50) peaking at #19. G.H. gives full expression to the song with 8 English versions and 2 Japanese versions. The English versions of the song feature Alina Renae and the Japanese versions feature Super Star Eriko Tamura. In addition, the cover art for the Japanese versions is by internationally renowned POP Artist, Zane Fix.

On the classical side, "Piano Jams 2" a release of G.H. Hat's 5 previous piano compositions, debuted on Billboard magazine's Classical Crossover Albums chart at #6 [17] and moved up to #4 in its third week on the chart. And is currently still on chart in its 6th week.

With his own personal style of EDM, G.H. Hat breaks away from traditional forms of EDM or as one reviewer put it: “There’s a misconception that EDM – electronic dance music – should be mindless. As long as it gets people moving on the dance floor, it works, right? Wrong. EDM, like any other music genre, is best approached in a compelling, artistic way. It shouldn’t be a slog through trope-driven production. ‘Primal’ is an excellent example of an EDM production gone right. Its varied musical styles are actually compelling to dig into; you don’t necessarily have to be on the dance floor to enjoy them.”


And as other’s have written:

• "G.H. Hat has garnered much attention from reviewers because of his unusual out-of-the-box success. "A dance club newcomer, he glided onto the dance club charts outperforming and charting higher than songs by such icons as Justin Bieber, Drake, David Guetta and Cardi B.” "G.H. Hat is a marvel in that he transitions from classical to EDM, to pop music with seemingly no effort." and "G.H. Hat… is on his way to becoming one of the most anticipatory acts in the EDM arena".

• "G.H. Hat seems to be doing everything right as an artist...”

• “G.H. Hat captures the cutting edge of trip hop and gives it his own personal flavor.”

• “This latest release from G.H. Hat is something of an audio revolution.”

• “He bridges the cultural gap between electronic and classical, lending credibility to both.”

• “G.H. Hat is on his way to becoming one of the most anticipatory acts in the EDM arena.”

• “G.H. Hat Gets Us Raging With “I Got a Problem” – It’s an EDM track that is ready for the masses.”

• “G.H. Hat Kills It With New Dance Track, “I Got A Problem”

• “I Got a Problem (I Wonder)” is manic AF. We’re digging it hard."

• "It’s no exaggeration to suggest that this time in music seems to belong to him..."

• “All-in-all…this entire EP is a complete joy to listen to.” [I Got a Problem (I Wonder...)]

• "The production value of this song is truly spectacular."

• “G.H. Hat's production techniques are second to none and it balances a radio friendly sound with being perfect for the dancefloor.”

• “I don’t know about you, but this is no cat in the hat trick; this G.H. Hat convinced me pretty much that this hat makes pretty awesome music!”

• “This is the kind of track that stands out boldly from its peers in terms of how effectively the vast, creative input fuses with the professional and stylish output.” G.H. Hat – Joyogistic

• “Adding intelligence, sterling production and sophisticated grooves, his brand of electronic dance music moves from just a standard dance track to a hypnotic groove.”

• “… Cultured and diverse, G.H. Hat is creating immersive experiences in the form of music that transport listeners into the newly unlocked dimension that G.H. Hat has discovered. Capturing the essence of Deep House, Trip-Hop and Trance while remaining grounded in his own style, “I Got A Problem (I Wonder…)” is an original and adventurous gateway into the empowered creative space that the man is currently within.”

• This is a period during which G.H. Hat’s creative process has evolved into one of the most highly regarded sounds on the market, and with the release of his brand new 3-song EP, “Sukiyaki (feat. Alina Renae)”, it’s no exaggeration to suggest that this time in music seems to belong to him..."

• Overall, this is an excellent reinvention and reinterpreting of a lost classic from decades ago, with a distinctive vocal performance from Alina Renae. Hat's production techniques are second to none and it balances a radio friendly sound with being perfect for the dancefloor.

• "G.H. Hat seems to be doing everything right as an artist...“Sukiyaki”, coming on the heels of “I Got a Problem (I Wonder…)”, solidifies that G.H. Hat is no “one-hit-wonder”."
