Dallas Austin was originally from Columbus, Georgia but he has come to be one of the leading drivers in creating an Atlanta sound. He has had numerous #1 hits on the charts, has invested in legendary performers as well as providing opportunities to new sounds and artists, and has helped put Atlanta front of mind for music fans worldwide.

This is the first time in FIFA World Cup™ history that the tournament theme has had unique local remixes to highlight the host cities of the matches themselves.
