Artist Spotlight: Fisher: From Surfer to Superstar DJ

Few artists in modern house music embody both irreverence and skill quite like FISHER. Known for his outsized personality, infectious energy, and dancefloor-dominating hits, FISHER (real name Paul Nicholas Fisher) has grown from an underground tech-house curiosity into a bona fide global festival headliner. Along the way, it’s been a joy watching him and his wife Chloe raise their young daughter Bobbi, often sharing heartwarming—and hilarious—moments from family life on social media.

From Pro Surfer to Club Headliner

Before the decks, there were waves. Born and raised on the Gold Coast of Australia, Fisher first gained attention as a professional surfer, traveling the world and cultivating the playful, no-filter persona that would later become his trademark on stage. But his passion for dance music slowly took over. Teaming up with fellow Aussie producer Leigh Sedley as part of the duo Cut Snake, Fisher began learning the ropes of DJing and production through deep house and tech-house circles.

It wasn’t until Fisher struck out on his own that his career truly skyrocketed. His solo project channeled not just his love for house music but his magnetic personality—something that resonated equally on Instagram, behind the decks, and in the studio.

Breakthrough: “Losing It” and Beyond

Fisher’s 2018 smash hit “Losing It” became a global anthem, receiving a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording and racking up hundreds of millions of streams. The track’s playful bassline, infectious hook, and peak-time energy solidified Fisher’s place as one of the leading names in tech-house. Following “Losing It,” he delivered further main-stage favorites like “You Little Beauty,” “Freaks,” and “Take It Off.”

What sets Fisher apart isn’t just his productions—it’s his presence. Whether he’s headlining Coachella, EDC, Tomorrowland, or running his Catch & Release record label, his sets are known for blending massive, undeniable bangers with a party atmosphere only Fisher can create.

Blackberries: A Vibier Turn

In 2025, Fisher continued evolving with his release “Blackberries.” Departing slightly from the relentless energy of prior singles like “Stay” and “Ocean,” “Blackberries” leans into a more vibey, groove-led sound while keeping Fisher’s signature bounce intact. It’s a track that shows maturity in his catalog, offering fans a deeper side without losing sight of the dancefloor.

We gave it an 8/10, noting that while it’s less peak-hour than “Stay” or “Ocean,” its subtle, infectious rhythm makes it a standout addition to Fisher’s evolving repertoire.

Life, Family, and Balance

Alongside his relentless touring schedule and studio output, Fisher’s family life has become part of his public charm. With wife Chloe—a model, entrepreneur, and DJ herself—the two have welcomed fans into their journey as parents to their adorable daughter Bobbi. Watching Chloe and Fisher balance nightlife with parenthood has only made fans love them more. Whether it’s behind the decks or at home in Byron Bay, their authenticity shines through.

What’s Next for Fisher?

2025 sees Fisher continuing to headline the biggest festivals and expanding his Catch & Release brand through curated events, releases, and partnerships. With no signs of slowing down, Fisher remains one of the most influential names in dance music—equal parts entertainer, producer, and family man.

Expect more shows, more antics, and undoubtedly more hits.
