NO PLACE: EDM AUDIO + VISUAL ARTIST
Electronic Dance Music and Visuals
Raised in the small town of Milpitas, California, NO PLACE planted its roots as a hobby from a music enthusiast but soon evolved into a project to cultivate and create innovative art, rhythms, and bass lines for the world to hear. From monthly LOCATION mixes online to performances on stage, NO PLACE is truly an artist to look out for.

Previous Branding
Tran preferred fonts that resembled theater posters like Sequel 100 Wide.
Capital sans serif lettering with bold, defined lines allowed for his name to be seen clearly. However, it lacked substance and character.

Previous Branding
This style from 2019 gave his logo more detail and flavor. The missing corners allowed for interpretations of mystery while the sans serif nature of the letters nodded to digital typography. One of the main challenges with this version was the lack of clarity.

Previous Branding
Used for his 2020 live opening performance for Eliminate, this version of the logo switched to a serif font. The center sections of it were shifted to offset the formal serif nature of the letters, giving it a more digital and “glitched” look that matched his music. Perspective warping was also added for dimension and increased theatrics for live shows.
NO PLACE: IDENTITY
Who I Am
Andrew Huu Tran, better known by his stage name “NO PLACE,” produces electronic dance music and theatrical visuals by combining rave history and home design. Having opened for big names such as Nathan “Eliminate” Merrill and McKenzie “Carbin” Morrow at just 21 years-old, makes him an artist to look out for in 2021.
NO PLACE: CULTURE
How I Came To Be
Raised by parents all the way from Vietnam, a career in the arts was not something they had in mind for their only son. Despite preaching to him about careers in other fields, his parents were natural-born artists themselves. His mother was a hair stylist and home designer while his father cultivated the art of bonsai in their family garden. Influenced by these art forms, as well as over a decade of experience with Photoshop, inspired Tran to create art that people not only want to see, but also hear.
NO PLACE: INFLUENCE
What Made Me
Skrillex, deadmau5, and Avicii are only some of the many influences that introduced Andrew “NO PLACE” Tran to electronic dance music. Very few of his peers in middle school knew of the genre and culture, therefore ostracizing him from many he tried to befriend. He used these social distances to his advantage, however, and chose to produce genres for those who felt weird, outcast, or in better terms, out of “place.”
NO PLACE: STYLE
What Represents Me
Originally a bass house producer, Tran released his debut single “Take You There” in 2020. He’s since moved to producing other bass-heavy genres such as dubstep & trap. He prioritizes clean mixes above all else, and is known for his clear, punchy drums, along with dry, crunchy bass synths.
