Ian Carey is and has been for many years a legendary key player in
the house scene worldwide. Ian grew up in a small town in Maryland,
USA; about 2 hours from Washington DC. He was exposed to music at a
young age, as his father (RIP) was a live sound engineer and ran a
sound reinforcement company. His father engineered for such groups
as Kool and The Gang and The Duke Ellington Orchestra. Also, his
mother played guitar and sang as a hobby. By the time he was 7
years old he was able to mic a stage for a concert and travel along
with his father during summer vacation making tour stops all over
America from east to west. In high school, he played drums and was
even in the school marching band. Ian discovered dance music while
he was in college. Already a part of the graffiti-writing scene in
Baltimore, MD he met hip-hop DJs which led him to his next passion.
So, he put down his spray can and bought some turntables. He
started djing and played mostly hip-hop. Then worked at Music
Liberated in Baltimore as a buyer/sales rep where he was properly
introduced to house music. His friends recommended his first setup.
He bought a Pentium computer running at 100MHz, an Ensoniq ASR-10
sampler, E-mu Orbit, Planet Phat and the Proteus 2000. With that,
he made his very first vocal production (with Jason Papillon as
Soul Providers) "Rise". It was a crossover hit and went Gold in the
UK. It wasn’t long before Ian decided to move to Europe, as it was
more convenient to be closer to the place the dance music scene
thrives. His signature “funky bass line” sound grew and eventually
propelled the demand for his top-notch productions, especially
remixes. In one single week, Ian held 8 mixes on the UK Upfront
Club Top 40*. Clubbers, djs, and fans who demanded to know more
created an influx of interviews from radio, magazines and people
like MTV. The most exclusive to date - an impressive 8 page spread
(and 2 hour DVD) exploring the intimate details of his production
techniques in the very prominent Future Music Magazine - published
in many languages and countries worldwide. He’s made hits like “Say
What You Want” on Nero Records and in 2008 released a rework of his
former project Soul Providers’ Rise into the smash “Keep On
Rising”. As a result, Ian gets respect from guys like Roger
Sanchez, Pete Tong and continues top 40 sales and radio in many
countries. "Get Shaky" was unleashed and saw huge success
world-wide, including the coveted Double Platinum certification in
Australia and a Gold certification in the UK. In the first week of
its UK release, it became a Top 10 in the Official UK Singles
Chart. Ian also co-Produced the video which not only ranked as Top
10 on iTunes...it landed him a VMA Moonman award for Best Dance
Video in Australia's MTV Music awards. 2010 and 2011 touring
highlights include some of the top nightclubs and festivals
worldwide including a 9 show tour in Brazil, a full month tour with
15 shows in Australia, a residency at Set Miami, as well as one off
shows in Dubai, Los Angeles, Singapore, Vancouver, Munich, Dublin,
London and Moscow just to name a few. Video touring highlights are
available to view on Ian’s YouTube channel:
www.youtube.com/iancareyofficial 2011 also saw the release of the
Vicious Cuts CD compilation that was released by Ministry of
Sound/Universal/Vicious Records. Ian’s newest single “Last Night”
features singer Bobby Anthony and Hip Hop legend Snoop Dogg. The
collaboration has already earned a Platinum certification in
Australia and is still working it’s way through the charts
worldwide. Ian is currently in his Miami based studio working on
his next singles and collaborating with A-list artists as well as
up and coming talent. Summer 2011 sees the launch of Ian’s monthly
radio show “Muzik Liberated” syndicated world-wide and available
for streaming online.
