He launched Size Records in 2003 and struck early success with Axwell as Supermode on “Tell Me Why.” In 2008, Swedish House Mafia took off, earning back-to-back Grammy nominations for hits like “Save the World” and “Don’t You Worry Child.” Today, Angello remains a driving force in global dance music with a legacy of chart-toppers and billions of streams.
