Born Adam Ansley in Austin, Texas, DJ Poolboi emerged onto the electronic music scene in 2017, swiftly gaining worldwide recognition for his emotionally evocative blend of lo-fi house, chillwave, and ambient beats. Initially crafting atmospheric tracks from his bedroom, his raw, melancholic sound resonated with an online audience, leading to viral releases such as "like we were the last two people on earth" and "when the world is on fire". DJ Poolboi's debut full-length project, **it's good to hear your voice** (2019), established him as a leading figure in the lo-fi house movement, seamlessly blending textured samples, sentimental piano loops, and gentle percussion.

He continued to evolve with subsequent releases, such as **stay just a little while longer** (2021) and **be present** (2023), delving into indie electronic and downtempo influences while maintaining his signature introspective style. His collaborations span a broad spectrum of artists, including Clairo, Phlocalyst, and Rejjie Snow. On stage, DJ Poolboi has performed internationally, including at renowned venues and festivals across Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America.

Despite his global presence, he maintains a close connection to his Texas roots, channeling themes of longing, nostalgia, and hope into his work. With millions of streams and a devoted fanbase, DJ Poolboi continues to push the boundaries between dancefloor rhythms and emotive storytelling, establishing himself as a vital voice in the next generation of electronic music artists.
