He went to college at BYU Provo prior to serving a church mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Japan, and when he came back he transferred the University of Utah and lived in Salt Lake city Utah. He now resides in Los Angeles, CA.

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.

To the Skies
Kaskade Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Over and over, again and again
Just going through motions
We can take off and go somewhere

Where life can become our dream
Away from this world, let me
Into your heart, I'll set it free
(Remember)

When the sun is running tired
Put your head up to the skies
Simple words I say are true
Every moment I'm with you

When the evening fashions die
Lift your head up to the skies
In my eyes you'll see the truth
Every moment I'm with you

Light of the day is shining bright
Don't be afraid
To cross the line and feel my hand

I'll be waiting on the other side
Trust me, it never felt
So alive, take a breath

When the sun is running tired
Put your head up to the skies
Simple words I say are true
Every moment I'm with you

When the evening fashions die
Lift your head up to the skies
In my eyes you'll see the truth
Every moment I'm with you

When the sun is running tired
Put your head up to the skies
Simple words I say are true
Every moment I'm with you

When the evening fashions die
Lift your head up to the skies
In my eyes you'll see the truth
Every moment I'm with you

Every moment I'm with you

Line by Line Meaning

Over and over, again and again
Repeating the same actions and routines

Just going through motions
Lacking passion and excitement in life

We can take off and go somewhere
Exploring new experiences and adventures

Where life can become our dream
Fulfilling our aspirations and desires

Away from this world, let me
Escaping from the stress and chaos of reality

Into your heart, I'll set it free
Finding inner peace and happiness in love

(Remember)
Reflecting on past memories and feelings

When the sun is running tired
At the end of the day, when fatigue sets in

Put your head up to the skies
Looking towards the future with optimism

Simple words I say are true
Expressing love and commitment sincerely

Every moment I'm with you
Treasuring and cherishing time spent together

When the evening fashions die
When nightlife and social activities slow down

Lift your head up to the skies
Finding hope and inspiration in the universe

In my eyes you'll see the truth
Being transparent and honest in a relationship

Light of the day is shining bright
Feeling optimistic and hopeful about the future

Don't be afraid
Being brave and taking risks

To cross the line and feel my hand
Taking a chance on love and intimacy

I'll be waiting on the other side
Offering unwavering support and companionship

Trust me, it never felt
Believing in the strength of the relationship

So alive, take a breath
Feeling invigorated and energized by love

Every moment I'm with you
Continuing to cherish and savor time spent together
