From School Concerts to Glastonbury Dreams: Efan Electros Journey as a 10-Year-Old DJ

For many aspiring music artists, the dream of releasing a single can take years to achieve. However, for Efan Electro, this goal was reached at the age of just 10. The young DJ from Bethesda, Gwynedd, has released his first official single, "Dyheadau," which translates to "Aspirations."

Efan received a DJ deck for Christmas when he was just eight years old, and from that moment on, his ambitions grew. He told BBC Radio Wales Breakfast that performing at Glastonbury is his ultimate end goal. "That's definitely the dream. I feel like once I've reached that, I've reached a certain point where I've made it," said Efan.

The process of crafting the track took about six months, and Efan is booked and busy debuting the release at several festival performances over the summer. His first show to launch the song will be at Roc Y Ddol in Bethesda, in Gwynedd.

Efan has come a long way from performing at school concerts to music festivals. He has supported rave legend Judge Jules at the 600-capacity Neuadd Ogwen just last year. His father, Rob, said that Efan has been obsessed with dance music ever since he was forced into it by his parents during "lockdown discos." "Me and his mum are really into our dance music so he was forced into it by us really," Rob laughed. "This is the first 100% finished track that he's happy to be released to the public."

Efan is currently signed by record label Recording Braithu and has a few more songs in the pipeline. While it may be a few more years until we see a full album, Efan is currently working to get the song mastered and distributed on streaming platforms.

Efan Electro's journey from school concerts to music festivals is a testament to the power of passion and perseverance. With his first single "Dyheadau" under his belt, there's no doubt that this young DJ has a bright future ahead of him.
