'Love Island USA' Season 7 Heartthrob Just Revealed a Major Career Update After His First Hit Topped 3 Million Streams
Love Island USA Season 7 star Nic Vansteenberghe has announced his next project fans can look forward to, and it is coming soon.
Vansteenberghe was interviewed by Dylan Kickham for Elite Daily, where he discussed his relationship with Olandria Carthen and the expansion of his personal ventures.
Following his successful run on Love Island USA, where he and Carthen were finalists, Vansteenberghe began DJing professionally. His debut single, a remix of 3am by Łaszewo, has over 3 million streams currently on Spotify. He explained that the song was remixed with his friends and that he was hoping for 100k streams. "It's crazy to me that it hit 3 million," he told the outlet.
Now, Vansteenberge is working on releasing his own original music. "My first original track will be out by the end of June, hopefully," he teased.
But he doesn't plan to stop there. Vansteenberge revealed he's been working on 10 tracks that he'll compile into an album.
"I think I'll release a couple at a time, and then the full album," he revealed.
Since leaving the villa, Vansteenberge has been on tour as a DJ, playing to venues across the United States, with stops announced on his official website here.
Prior to Love Island, Vansteenberge was a registered nurse originally from Jacksonville, Florida. Upon entering the Villa, he was initially coupled up with Belle-A Walker, but that quickly fell apart upon the entrance of bombshell Cierra Ortega.
Following many dramatic twists and turns, Ortega was removed from the Villa on Day 26, six days prior to the season finale.
After her removal, Vansteenberge explored his connection with Carthen, in a move that fans had been waiting for since Day 1, following Vansteenberge picking Carthen during a kissing challenge. Fans affectionately dubbed the couple "NicOlandria," and watched as fate and twists brought them together time after time until they finally truly explored their connection.
Love Island USA Season 7 is streaming in full exclusively on Peacock, with Vansteenberghe also making a brief appearance on the follow-up spin-off series Love Island: Beyond the Villa Season 2.
