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.

Thumbs up... the voice doesn't have to be in the same key... it flows, which is even better
Briél Kate
I still love this song regardless :)
The flow is the most important thing, though songs like this can be an acquired taste. It will still rocket to the top of my Spotify Most Played list!

3:05 to the end: downright incredible, and it’s what made me first fall in love with this song.
I first heard this song playing in a clothing store of all places (likely a holiday playlist)… I didn’t have Shazam on me. I took note of the lyrics, struggling to find the song, until Spotify recognized the lyrics while I searched for songs.

But that Christmas spirit tho 😆

wish I get hold of the words

It would be nice if the voice was in the same key as the music. The song sounds like it was thrown together as an afterthought. I give this song a thumbs down 👎.
MattySOP
lol this song is great..two thumbs up!!
Briél Kate
@MattySOP exactly! It's one of my favorite Kaskade songs actually, especially the last minute-and-a-half.
I first heard it play in a WHBM boutique in December 2021, while I was shopping for women's clothes shortly after I came back out as transgender, after spending three years in the closet. This song brings me back to that very moment where I finally felt free to express my gender again; it carries a special sentimental meaning for me, beyond that of the "peace on Earth" message.
