Career
Hedgegaard 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 has been played more than 100 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 got him on the charts in several countries.
. In 2012, HEDEGAARD helped produce and write the hit single “Better Than Yourself” for world star 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 sale it was #1 for several weeks in Danmark and has now accumulated more than 38 million streams in total (July 2017). After performing on the Norwegian talk show "Senkveld med Thomas og Harald", the song became #1 on the Norwegian iTunes and was certified 3× platinum on streaming in Norway. In 2014 Hedegaard won an award as "Producer of the Year" for the hit "Happy Home" at Danish Music Awards 2014. In 2015 he won another award for "Most Played Song Of The Year" at "Carl Prisen".
Later in 2014, Hedegaard released “Twerk It Like Miley” featuring Brandon Beal and Christopher. The song has more than 56 million streams on Spotify and 158 million views on YouTube and it reached #1 in a couple of Asian countries. "Twerk It Like Miley" won 3 awards at Danish DeeJay Awards 2015 and is now 3× platinum in Denmark, platinum in Philippines, and gold in Indonesia, Taiwan and Thailand.

On the singles "JUMANJI" (in collaboration with CANCUN?) and "SA-MY-D" (in collaboration with Matt Hawk) from 2019, Hedegaard returned to the rap-club fusion sound he invented years ago, under the genre “car music” – music particularly suited for a large car stereo system.
He released the single "ALL DESIGNER" in 2021 resulted in number 1 rankings in Southern Europe, the Baltics, and China - followed by the hit single “JEEP” by CANCUN? and HEDEGAARD, which entered the top 20 on QQ Music's EDM Chart in China.
