Hedegaard is a musician and songwriter, and his music is a fusion of rap, hip-hop, and club music. He started his career remixing tracks for Danish nightclubs and uploading them to YouTube, including his unofficial remix of Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre's hit "The Next Episode", which made Hedegaard well known across Europe. The song had been streamed more than 235 million times on YouTube. He has also remixed 50 Cent, Macklemore, Basto, Ludacris, Stromae, Ed Sheeran, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Rihanna. Remixes like "The Next Episode", "Thrift Shop", "Move Bitch", "In Da Club", and "P.I.M.P" formed the basis for the sound that became characteristic of Hedegaard as a DJ and placed him on the charts in several countries. In 2012, Hedegaard helped produce and write the hit single "Better Than Yourself" for Danish band Lukas Graham. In 2014, Hedegaard collaborated again with Lukas Graham on the single "Happy Home", which later went platinum in several Scandinavian countries. The song was played heavily on the Danish radio station P3 and was put in a rotation on several other radio stations. On streaming and sales charts, it was number 1 for several weeks in Denmark and has now accumulated more than 38 million streams in total as of July 2017. After performing on the Norwegian talk show Senkveld med Thomas og Harald, the song became number 1 on the Norwegian iTunes and was certified three-times platinum on streaming in Norway. Hedegaard won the "Producer of the Year" award for "Happy Home" at the 2014 Danish Music Awards, and won another award for "Most Played Song Of The Year" at the 2015 Carl Prisen. Later in 2014, Hedegaard released "Twerk It Like Miley" featuring Brandon Beal and Christopher. Upon release, the song had more than 56 million streams on Spotify and 158 million views on YouTube, and reached number 1 in some Asian countries. "Twerk It Like Miley" won three awards at the 2015 Danish DeeJay Awards and is certified three-times platinum in Denmark, platinum in Philippines, and gold in Indonesia, Taiwan and Thailand. In 2016, "Twerk It Like Miley" had been streamed more than 147 million times on Spotify (including remix versions), and played more than 400 million times on YouTube. Hedegaard won the "Producer of the Year" award at the 2016 Club Awards as well as the "Audience Award" at the 2016 Danish DeeJay Awards. Subsequently, he won the prize for "Remix of the Year" at the 2017 Danish DeeJay Awards for the remix of "Slem Igen". In 2017, Hedegaard's single "That's Me" was released and has since gained 40 million streams on Spotify. The song includes vocals from Australian singer and songwriter Hayley Warner, and in the spring of 2017, Hedegaard and Warner met up in Los Angeles and wrote the single "Go Back". In 2019, Hedegaard released the single "Ready to Love You", which culminated over 42 million streams on Spotify. On the singles "Jumanji", a collaboration with Danish-based rapper Cancun, and "SA-MY-D", a collaboration with Danish DJ Matt Hawk, Hedegaard returned to the rap-club fusion sound he was known for years ago, under the genre "car music" – music particularly suited for a large car stereo system. Hedegaard released the single "All Designer" in 2021, resulting in number 1 rankings in Southern Europe, the Baltics, and China - followed by the hit single "Jeep", another collaboration with Cancun, which entered the top 20 on QQ Music's EDM Chart in China. In 2023, Hedegaard, in partnership with Dutch record label Spinnin' Records, founded the sublabel OneHundred. At the end of 2023, he went on his biggest tour to date, stretching from Jakarta and Bali in Indonesia, to the Creamfields festival in Guangzhou, China, and then onto Hawaii, where he began his first tour of the United States, which took him through cities including San Diego, Boston, Denver, and Sacramento. Hedegaard was formerly managed by Then We Take The World with Lasse Siegismund and Kasper Færk, before his current management became Daylight Agency.
