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 ↴
Baby I miss you and
That's when I come to realize
Why I am and why I act this way
Into my eyes like a ray of sunshine
That's how you start my day
And nothing's ever really changing this time
Things will always be this way
'Cause it feels so good I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it when I see you smile baby
It feels so good I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it when you spend a little time with me
'Cause it feels so good I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it when I see you smile baby
It feels so good I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it when you spend a little time with me
Spend a little time with me
My love it ain't easy sometimes
So much standing in my way
Then you come and all my worries are gone
You just know what to say
'Cause your love is all I need to get by
It's all I need today.
Nothing's ever really changing this time
Things will always be this way

It feels so good I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it when you spend a little time with me
