Disclosure Biography

The electronic music team known as Disclosure was established in 2010 by brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence. Howard and Guy grew up in Reigate, Surrey, and it was little surprise that the two young men would develop an interest in music as a career; their father had played in a number of indie bands and their mother was a singer who performed on cruises and in advertisements, and occasionally worked as a session singer for various bands and performers. Guy and Howard began learning to play various instruments when they were still in elementary school, starting with drums and bass.

After completing A-Level studies in music at Reigate College, the two began copying and de-constructing various music tracks, reworking them into a blended style of house music inspired by popular music. Various tracks uploaded to MySpace eventually earned Disclosure their first record deal in 2010; the duo’s debut single, “Offline Dexterity,” arrived later that year. The single garnered them some buzz, but it was the follow-up, “Carnival/I Love… That You Know,” which earned them the management deal that launched their career as Dislcosure.

Disclosure forged forward with the singles “Tenderly/Flow,” “Running,” and “Latch,” which features the voice of the Sam Smith and which rose into the top twenty on the UK charts.  Additional chart-topping hits from Disclosure include: “White Noise” (featuring Aluna George); “You and Me” (featuring Eliza Doolittle): “F for You” (featuring Mary J. Blige); “Help Me Lose My Mind” (featuring London Grammar); “Holding On” (featuring Gregory Porter); and “Omen” (again featuring Sam Smith.) Disclosure has also remixed a number of singles by other artists, including Janet Jackson’s “Call on Me,” Lorde’s “Royals,” and Pharrell Williams’s “Frontin’.”

In 2013, Disclosure released its debut album, Settle, which earned them a 2014 Grammy Award nomination for best Dance/Electronica Album. The duo’s most recent album, Caracal, arrived in September of 2015.
