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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We've come so far
A fine romance
Of steppin' out to dance.
Your lovely charms
When you're in my arms
That subtle glance
To dance, to dance
Could you think it over?
When we get older
I'll still want you here with me
Darling I hope that you agree

I remember listening to this song in the car on my family vacation to California with my mom and my dad when I was little. Driving down the beaches and the city lights. Things were so simple. Years later my dad and I still listened to this song. We had a really conflicted relationship but we both loved each other. Times I didn’t know how he felt. But after he passed suddenly three weeks ago, coming back and listening to this breaks my heart. But it reminds me of how much he really did love me. And i love him forever.
