BIJOU , known to his friends as Ben Dorman , is a modern - day icon redefining the sound of house music. Born and raised in Arizona , Ben’s journey wasn’t a straight shot to the decks. Before lighting up festival stages around the world, he was chasing a different dream — a professional baseball career that taught him the discipline, focus, and work ethic that now fuel his artistry. When his passion for mus ic began to outshine the diamond, he turned his drive toward the nightlife scene of his hometown, grinding behind the decks at local clubs and building a movement from the ground up. That relentless spirit soon turned BIJOU from a local favorite into a na tional name , leading to collaborations, chart - topping releases, and sold - out tours across the globe. His unmistakable blend of gritty hip - hop influences and hard - hitting house energy carved out a sound that’s both underground and mainstage - ready — the hall mark of a true innovator. In 2022 , BIJOU began a relationship with Sonny Fodera’s label, Solotoko , dropping standout records like “I Know” and returning in 2024 with “Oxygen,” both of which showcased his signature sound and solidified his relationship wit h one of house music’s most respected imprints. His momentum only grew from there. By 2024 , BIJOU caught the attention of Fisher , who recognized him as one of the fiercest house producers in the game. That recognition led to his explosive debut on Fisher’s Catch & Release label with the track “Mind Eraser,” marking another major milestone in his evolution. But BIJOU’s vision goes beyond his own catalog. With his imprint Do Not Duplicate Recordings (DND RECS) , he’s created a home for forward - thinking artist s and sounds that push house music’s boundaries. The label stands as a reflection of BIJOU himself — bold, unfiltered, and dedicated to authenticity. From the Arizona desert to the world’s biggest stages , BIJOU’s story is one of evolution, resilience, and pure passion. With each release, each performance, and each artist he champions, he continues to prove that he’s not just part of the house music movement — he’s helping lead it.
