Early Life and Musical InfluencesBorn in Seattle, Washington on April 10, 2000, Powell Aguirre, known professionally as Surf Mesa, emerged as a rising star in the music scene. His parents' involvement in music ignited his passion at an early age. His father, a saxophonist in a jazz band, introduced him to classic tunes, while his older brother introduced him to FL Studio, a music production software.

Surf Mesa began experimenting with music writing in third grade, inspired by artists like Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, and local bands. In high school, he immersed himself in music production, honing his skills with FL Studio. Alongside his original compositions, he ventured into DJing, deepening his appreciation for dance-electronic music.
Debut and Breakthrough
In 2019, Surf Mesa released his debut EP, "Bedroom," featuring four tracks. The single "Taken Away" and "Ily (I Love You Baby)" gained traction, with the latter becoming a viral sensation on TikTok. The hit featured a sample from "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons.
International Acclaim

The official music video, filmed in Marina del Rey and Venice, received millions of views on YouTube. The single climbed the charts worldwide, reaching the top five in Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic Songs and the top 10 in multiple European countries.
