Harley Edward Streten was born on 5 November 1991 in Sydney, Australia. His father, Glen Streten, is a filmmaker and record producer, and his mother, Lyndall, is a horticulturist and former teacher. He grew up on the Northern Beaches of Sydney with a younger sister and brother, and attended Seaforth Public School for primary school and St Augustine's College, Brookvale and Mosman High School for secondary school. He began composing music at the age of 11, with a basic DJ and mixing program CD for windows that was packaged in a box of Kelloggs' Nutrigrain. The disk showed how music was layered and gave Flume a new perspective that jump-started his music production. In 2010, Flume began producing house music under his initials, HEDS. He created two tracks, "Flow" and "Fizz", in addition to several remixes.
Flume had his first radio play with the song "Possum", which had been uploaded to Triple J Unearthed, and was signed in 2011 through an original artists competition managed by the Australian record company Future Classic. He submitted the tracks "Sleepless", "Over You" and "Paper Thin" to finish second in the competition. Nathan McLay, founder of Future Classic and now Flume's manager, assisted with the release of his first EP, titled Sleepless, which contained the three original tracks. He opted for the moniker "Flume" after the Bon Iver song of the same name.
Flume's self-titled debut album was released on 9 November 2012. The album has 15 songs and is 49 minutes long. It was done on his first laptop that he had ever purchased. He finished the album on this laptop while he was on a low-budget trip to London. The album's production saw Flume collaborating with vocal artists Moon Holiday, Jezzabell Doran, Chet Faker, and New York rapper T-shirt. It debuted on the ARIA Albums Chart at number two, behind One Direction's Take Me Home. In December 2012, Flume signed with Mom + Pop Music and announced the North American release of his self-titled debut studio album. The album was released in the US on 21 February 2013 and received strong support from American critics, averaging a score of 73 out of 100 on review aggregate site Metacritic.
On Australia Day 2013, four of Flume's songs (including a remix) were listed on Triple J Hottest 100 for 2012.

Flume's debut studio album reached number one on the ARIA Albums Chart.

Our final joint project is a soon-to-be-released EP that we completed last year. That will be the last What So Not project I'll be creatively involved with."
