Top dance DJ with very famous ex looks unrecognisable in new pics as he relaunches his career as a country musician

A TOP dance DJ has revealed a very different look – and it’s a far cry from how he appeared earlier in his career.

The musician, 41, is one of the UK’s most successful artists and in 2020 sold the rights to his entire back catalogue for a cool £103million.

And Calvin Harris is also taking his sound in a very different direction.

He recently teased his upcoming single Smoke The Pain Away – which has an unmistakable country influence.

It seems Calvin is switching up his whole brand as he’s shown off a drastically different look.

In a new snap shared on Instagram the We Found Love hitmaker sported long hair and a full beard.

He completed the rugged look with a casual khaki jacket as he posed in what appeared to be a forest.

It’s a stark contrast to Calvin’s former clean-cut image, which saw him favour a smarter appearance.

It’s no surprise Calvin is keen to dip his toe into the country market, given Beyonce’s recent success with her Cowboy Carter album.

And Calvin – who is engaged to broadcaster Vick Hope – also has seen first hand how lucrative the genre can be.

He dated Taylor Swift, arguably country’s biggest modern star, from March 2015 until May 2016.

Calvin first burst onto the music scene in 2007 with his debut album I Created Disco, which spawned the hit Acceptable In The 80s.

He’s since produced massive hits for many of the world’s biggest artists including Rihanna, Justin Timberlake and Dua Lipa.

Calvin largely stopped singing on his tracks in 2010 to focus on his role as a producer and DJ but his upcoming release is the first to feature his voice since 2014.
