Ansel is one of the hottest up and coming young actors in Hollywood, having starred in hit films The Fault In Our Stars and the Divergent series, and recently has been making waves as a DJ songwriter and producer having performed at EDM festivals Ultra, and Electric Zoo, under the pseudonym ‘Ansolo’. Active supporters range from DNCE/Joe Jonas to Tiesto, Afrojack, and Hardwell.
Out now, “Thief” was written and produced by Ansel and is accompanied by a steamy video directed by his brother, Warren Elgort, and features his girlfriend Violetta Komyshan. This electro-pop hit’s sexy synth and catchy lyrics establish Elgort’s individuality as an artist.
Since its release, “Thief” has been the #1 trend on iTunes and Apple Music in the US, and has been added to New Music Friday US, Germany, Denmark, and Indonesia. It is also the #1 song on Spotify’s Friday Cratediggers (140K followers) playlist. “Thief” follows Ansel’s debut release “Home Alone” which reached #1 Spotify Viral US and Global Charts last year with over 6.8 million Spotify streams, and is the first new music to come from Ansel this year via Island Records.
