Biography

Sub Focus, the alias of drum'n'bass producer and DJ Nick Douwma, quickly rose to prominence within two years of his debut, self-taught in music production from a young age. His breakout year came in 2005 with releases on Ram Records and remixing The Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up." Subsequent years saw annual releases on Ram Records, his full-length debut in 2009, and successful singles like "Kickstarts" for Example and "Endorphins" featuring Alex Clare. His second album, Torus, released in 2013, showcased collaborations with high-profile vocalists and singles that gained him increasing recognition.

Following the success of Torus, Sub Focus continued to release singles that highlighted his jungle and garage roots, including "Love Divine," "Nobody Knows," and "Lingua" featuring Stylo G in 2017. Collaborations with vocalists like Alma on "Don't You Feel It" further solidified his standing in the music industry, showcasing his versatility and ability to blend genres in his production.

Sub Focus Marketing Affinity & Brand Fit Data

Report Date: 2025-09-09

Affinity lines up with Mixcloud, iHeartRaves, Pioneer, mapping to streetwear, music platforms, and lifestyle products. Net effect: campaigns that travel without heavy media.

Artist Affinity estimates how strongly an artist's audience overlaps with interest in specific brands, products, and categories. It is derived from aggregated social and behavioral signals—who fans follow, save, click, and engage with—normalized across platforms. Higher affinity suggests better partnership fit and higher likelihood that fans will respond positively to branded content or offers. Use it to shortlist natural brand partners and product concepts that feel authentic to the audience. Combine affinity with Connection Strength (ER) and reach to balance fit with impact. Treat affinity as directional—validate with creative tests and small pilots before scaling.

ER = (likes + comments + shares) ÷ audience per post ≥ 3.0% = Very Strong 2.0–2.99% = Strong 1.0–1.99% = Moderate < 1.0% = Low
How to read it: Pair ER with reach (views/followers) to gauge intensity and scale.
