Amy Shark shares backstory on collab with The Chainsmokers after hit single ‘The Reaper’

Gold Coast golden girl Amy Shark has spilled all on how she managed to collab with one of the biggest names in music right now.

AMY Shark has worked with some of the biggest producers in the music industry and can now add US favourites The Chainsmokers to the list.

The Gold Coast golden girl Shark, 33, teamed up with DJ duo Alex Pall and Drew Taggart for The Reaper. It was released this month.

“I met the boys almost two years ago,” Shark told the Bulletin. “We have been wanting to do something for a long time.

“We just kept in touch and kept sending songs back and forth and The Reaper just felt right.

“The boys are usually 100 songs ahead of anyone else in the game. They don’t stop. They are extremely talented.

“They had written the track but they let me put some Shark flavour on it. I was lucky enough to work on the song in my studio on the Gold Coast.”

The video was viewed 2.2 million times in two days on YouTube. In a week, it’s reached 3.1 million views.

“I knew my fans would like it. It’s nice and moody,” she laughed.
