History
Kaskade was born in 1972 in Chicago, Illinois. He later moved to
Salt Lake City in 1992 to attend the
University of Utah. During this time he owned and operated a local record store,
Mechanized Records. In May 2000, Kaskade moved to
San Francisco and began working as an
A&R assistant for
Om Records. Releasing his first single "What I Say" on the label in 2001.
[1]
In the Moment
saw Kaskade's first top 10 single with "Steppin' Out" reaching #5 on
Billboard Magazine
’s
Hot Dance Club Play chart and #6 on
Dance Radio Airplay.
[2] The fourth single to be released from the album, "Everything," reached #1 on
Billboard Magazine
’s Hot Dance Club Play.
Kaskade's fourth solo album
Love Mysterious
was released in September 2006. The first single from the album, "
Be Still", reached #4 on
Billboard Magazine
’s Hot Dance Club Play.
The single features vocalist
Sunsun, and includes remixes by
Jay-J and
Robbie Rivera. Follow up single "Stars Align" hit number #8 on "Billboard Magazine" Hot Dance Airplay chart and just missed the top ten, #11, on the Hot Dance Club Play chart. His third single released from "Love Mysterious", "Sorry", was his third consecutive top ten hit on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay Chart, at #9. Dirty South provided a remix for "Sorry." The remix was nominated for a 2008 Grammy for Best Remixed Recording.
Kaskade did not take his name from the Detroit band
the Kaskades, who broke up in late 2006 as many fans believed. He actually took his name from a nature book when he saw a picture of a waterfall and a co-worker agreed "cascade" was a good choice, but Kaskade then changed the spelling.
[3]
Upon signing with
Ultra Records in late 2006, Kaskade subsequently left
Om Records and now only releases with the former.
Most recently Kaskade has worked with Canadian house/electronic DJ/artist "
Deadmau5" to produce tracks on
Strobelite Seduction, including the first single (released as an EP)
Move For Me. The single became his fifth top ten hit on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay Chart, reaching the number one position in its
September 6, 2008 issue.
[4] It also gave Kaskade his first number one single on this chart. The dance single has become a crossover hit, managing to reach number 71 on the Canadian Hot 100 as of February 14, 2009. The follow up single, "Angel On My Shoulder", also found success on the dance chart, placing at number 5 on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay Chart.
Other Projects
Kaskade is also an active member of

The Sellars. Remixed Late Night Alumni's "Empty Streets", which is found of
