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 ↴
And colorful (?)
What do you see?
You and me
(?) some sun
And let it surround you
What do you hear?
Is it near?
Is it in the wind?
I can see it
Is it in the sky?
I can feel it
Is it all you wanted?
Yes it is
Is it passing by?
I can catch it
Does the picture change?
Yes it does
Is there room for more?
Yes there is
Now youre on a boat
Yes i am
Do you see the shore?
I can see it
Picture a vision
We (?) are you wishin'
Do you agree?
You and me
Fall in some light
And let it ignite
All three suns today
What do you say?
Is it in the wind?
I can see it
Is it in the sky?
I can feel it
Is it all you wanted?
Yes it is
Is it passing by?
I can catch it
Does the picture change?
Yes it does
Is there room for more?
Yes there is
Now youre on a boat
Yes I am
Do you see the shore?
I can see it
The lyrics to the song "I Can See" by Kaskade evoke a sense of wonder and exploration. The singer asks the listener to open their senses and see what is around them, whether it be the colors of the world or the sounds of nature. The lyrics also encourage the listener to embrace their desires and to take action to make their wishes come true. The image of being on a boat, heading towards the shore, is a metaphor for traveling towards one's dreams and goals.
The repetition of the lines "Is it in the wind? I can see it. Is it in the sky? I can feel it" creates a sense of the unknown and the mystical, as if there is something beyond what is immediately visible to the eye. The imagery of "falling in some light" and "igniting all three suns today" encourages the listener to embrace the beauty of the world and to seek out new experiences.
