Adam Blight known professionally as DJ Blighty is an international DJ & Producer from the U.K. He rose to prominence in 2015 having grown a loyal fanbase on the Mixcloud platform. At present, his Mixcloud channel has in excess of 130,000 followers resulting in over 20,000,000 online streams amassing an astronomical 300,000,000+ listener minutes making him the most listened to DJ worldwide across multiple electronic music genres.

His love & passion for music took hold at an early age & has seen the Cardiff born DJ progress from humble beginnings in his grandparents bedroom, to becoming a globally recognised name thanks to his online presence & live shows.

In 2019 after many years learning the craft of music production, testing the waters with numerous remixes & bootlegs, he released his debut single ‘Separate Ways’ which has since been followed by many more releases, most notably to date he’s remake of the timeless classic ‘Killing Me Softly’ released in the summer of 2021.

Despite the global pandemic, in 2021 he hit the ground running with his first official label release ‘The Nights’ on New State Music. This track took pride of place in Apple Music’s Dance XL playlist for over 3 months, as well as garnering support from some of the world’s biggest dance music DJ’s. 
 “I never aim to create a specific genre of music, I make music based on how it makes me feel rather than what it ‘should’ sound like. Emotion is what connected me to music in the first place, so if I get those excitement butterflies when I finish a track, even if I make just one other person feel the same way, then I’m satisfied that my job is done.” 
 

His popularity on his various platforms see’s him regularly called in for guest mixes on U.K. national radio stations such as BBC Radio 1xtra, Kiss FM & Capital Xtra, he’s also had mixes aired on DJ Whoo Kid’s primetime Saturday show on Eminem’s Shade 45 Radio station in New York City.
