Ian Carey Project Artist Bio

Ian Carey has been a part of the worldwide house music scene for a number of years.

Carey grew up in a small town in Maryland [1], USA about 2 hours from Washington DC. He had been exposed to the music business at a young age, as his father was a live sound engineer and ran a sound reinforcement company and had engineered for such groups as Kool & The Gang and The Duke Ellington Orchestra.

Carey became involved with dance music while in college. He had already experimented with the graffiti-writing scene in Baltimore, MD, where he met a number of hip-hop DJs, which led to him becoming involved in DJing. He was also introduced to house music while working at a record store.

The success of Carey’s first self-produced single “Rise” later influenced him to move to Europe to pursue a career in dance music production. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
