On Friday, December 1st, Louis The Child will be performing at The Showbox Sodo in downtown Seattle.
Louis The Child consists of Freddy Kennett and Robby Hauldren, who have taken the music industry by storm in recent years. The Chicago-area pair went to the same high school and had their own respective projects, but their paths never crossed. After meeting on March 18, 2012 at a Madeon concert, the pair decided to join forces and start making music together, even though Kennett was wrapping up high school and Hauldren had just enrolled at the University of Southern California.

With over 50 million Spotify streams, Louis The Child provides their fans electronic bliss through stadium-ready anthems such as “It’s Strange” featuring K. Flay and their Icona Pop collaboration “Weekend”. On the most recent release, “Love Is Alive” (ft. Elohim), their versatility and emotional range shines through brightest, showcasing an understated tenderness, which Billboard praised as “soft and soothing.”
Citing influences ranging from James Blake, Robert Glasper, Flume and ODESZA, Hauldren & Kennett blend musical complexity and sonic experimentation in an individual strand of future bass that defies pop formulas, catching the ear of outlets such as Chicago Tribune, Pitchfork, BBC, Rolling Stone, and Billboard.
