Felix Jaehn: Songs and Collaborations
Hamburg DJ Felix Jaehn soundtracked every wedding dancefloor since 2015, but Cheerleader is just the start of a 10-billion-stream catalogue.
The wedding-floor moment
Every wedding since 2015 has had this moment: 'Cheerleader' comes on, and half the room is suddenly moving. Felix Jaehn, a Hamburg DJ, turned one tropical house remix into a global phenomenon. Number one in 55+ countries, six weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, over 10 billion streams. That's one song. The rest of his catalogue goes much deeper.
The Hamburg producer
Felix is a German DJ and producer from Hamburg, raised in Schönberg in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, releasing music since 2012. He studied at Point Blank Music College in London at just 17, and within a few years had turned that remix into one of the biggest dance records of the decade. Now: 200+ gold, platinum and diamond certifications, and one of the most successful electronic artists of his generation.
The sound that travels
Tropical house, deep house, future house. Think Kygo or Avicii's tropical years. Steel-drum melodies, warm basslines, big pop vocal hooks that sit right up front. It's dance music built for singing along, not just for the club. That's the whole formula, and it works because it never lost sight of the pop chorus.
The vocalists who carry the songs
Felix has always known his strength is production. The vocalists are the other half. Jasmine Thompson on 'Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better)' (number one in 36 countries), Nea and Bryn Christopher on 'No Therapy', Polina on 'Book of Love', Hight and Alex Aiono on 'Hot2Touch'. Each brought something different to that tropical house template.
Where the project stands now
Three studio albums: I (2018), Breathe (2021), and NAGTTB+ (2025). They show his sound evolving beyond the tropical house peak while keeping that same warmth. In 2024, Felix came out as non-binary and pansexual, using they/them pronouns personally while continuing to release under the Felix Jaehn name professionally.
