Prior to being a recording artist, he was a record store owner and a club DJ at a nightclub in Salt Lake City as a way to make ends meet for him and his wife. After he and his wife moved to San Francisco he landed a job as a A&R man at OM records, where in addition to reviewing demos for the label he also submitted his own material, which would pay off big time for him. In 2001 he went from behind the desk to behind the turntables and the recording studio as an artist in his own right. In 2003 Kaskade released his first album, "It's You It's Me", which was well received by critics.
It would be his follow up, "In The Moment" in 2004, that would put Kaskade on the map. The first single off the set "Steppin' Out" would become a major hit on the Dance Radio Airplay that year as well as a top 10 hit on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. His biggest breakthrough would come the week of May 14, 2005, when his follow up, "Everything," would go all the way to #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.

Kaskade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lookin' out for a better day
Can you decide
What you're feelin'?
Don't wait to take what's there
And then make it what you want
All that you need to have
No need to look around
When you could be lookin' in
You say you'll find
You will find it
Love is here and will always stay
It's you who chooses to look away
You can decide
What you're feelin'?
Don't wait to take what's there
And then make it what you want
All that you need to have
Is right there inside your heart
No need to look around
When you could be lookin' in
You say you'll find
You will find it
Make it what you want
Make it what you want
Don't wait to take what's there
And then make it what you want
All that you need to have
Is right there inside your heart
No need to look around
When you could be lookin' in
You say you'll find
You will find it
Don't wait to take what's there
And then make it what you want
All that you need to have
Is right there inside your heart
No need to look around
When you could be lookin' in
You say you'll find
You will find it
The lyrics of Kaskade feat. Haley's song Don focus on the idea that love is always present and accessible, but it is up to each individual to choose whether to embrace it or not. The song encourages listeners to stop running away from their problems and instead face them head-on, taking what's available and making it into something better.
The first few lines of the song speak specifically about how easy it is to run away from one's problems instead of facing them. By doing so, people may feel like they are searching for a better day or a better life, but in reality, they are only postponing the inevitable. The chorus then repeats the message that all that is needed for happiness and success is already within one's heart, and that there is no need to look outside of oneself for fulfillment.
The song's final message is that change is possible when one takes action and decides to embrace the love that is right in front of them. By taking what's available and making it their own, they can create a happier, more fulfilling life for themselves.
Overall, the lyrics of Don convey a simple yet powerful message about the importance of self-reflection and self-acceptance in finding happiness.

Crazy how we can run away
Looking out for a brighter day
Can you decide what youre feeling
Don't wait to take what's there and then
Make it what you want
All that you need you have it's right there
Inside your heart
No need to look around when you could be
Looking in
'Cause there you'll find
You will find it
Love is here and will always stay
It's you who chooses to look away
You can decide what you're feeling
Don't wait to take what's there and then
Make it what you want
All that you need you have it's right there
Inside your heart
No need to look around when you could be
Looking in
'Cause there you'll find
You will find it
Make it what you want
Make it what you want
Don't wait to take whats there and then
Make it what you want
All that you need you have it's there
Inside your heart
No need to look around when you could be
Looking in
'Cause there you'll find
You will find it
Don't wait to take what's there and then
Make it what you want
All that you need you have it's right there
Inside your heart
No need to look around when you could be
Looking in
'Cause there you'll find
You will find it
