Christian Smith, better known as Crankdat, began as a teenager in Ohio uploading remixes to SoundCloud that quickly lit up the electronic music scene. Those early viral moments led to collaborations with global heavyweights like Marshmello on “Falling To Pieces” and DJ Snake on “Big Bang,” establishing Crankdat as a rising force in electronic music and launching a growing catalog of originals, including fan favorites like “STFU” and “Movement.”

What sets Crankdat apart is his relentless focus on impact, both in the studio and on stage. Fusing hard-hitting bass with melodic hooks, his music is built to dominate streaming platforms and ignite live crowds. That momentum has carried him to the world’s biggest electronic stages, including EDC Las Vegas, Ultra Music Festival, and Tomorrowland, where his sets are known for custom edits, unreleased music, and unpredictable moments.

In 2026, Crankdat reaches a new career milestone with his first-ever headline performance at Red Rocks, a debut headline show at Tacoma Dome, and four consecutive nights at the Los Angeles Shrine – cementing his evolution from viral disruptor to full-scale headliner and one of the most exciting names in electronic music today.
