Metro Detroit native Aaron-Carl began his music career in 1996, when he signed to Soul City Records, a label owned by Underground Resistance’s “Mad” Mike Banks. Refusing to be boxed into just one style, Aaron quickly made a name for himself by releasing his first two records – both completely different genres, at the same time. “Crucified,” a deep soulful vocal anthem, met instant critical acclaim; while “Down,” an explicit electro-house track (the b-side to “Wash It”), became – and remains one of Aaron’s biggest records to date. Aaron-Carl’s discography showcases his powerful versatility; with releases on labels such as Subject Detroit, Ovum Recordings, Metroplex, Afrosyntrix, as well as his own imprint, Wallshaker Music. He has been remixed by some of the industry’s top producers, like Ewan Pearson and Grammy award winner Peter Rauhofer / Club 69. Aaron has also remixed an array of big-name artists, including jazz legend Manu Dibango and techno pioneers Underground Resistance. In addition to producing and remixing, Aaron-Carl is an international DJ. He has captivated audiences throughout the world with his Detroit-style blend of house, techno and electro. As a vocalist, Aaron displays a well-seasoned four-octave range. “People often ask me who the woman is, singing on my records,” he recalls. (Answer: AC himself!) From the sensual, seductive whispers of “Down” and “21 Positions” to soul-stirring shouts of “My House” and “Sky,” Aaron delights in living up to his “genderless,” 10 ft. tall reputation. Signing a global distribution deal with Cratesavers Muzik; owning and overseeing the successful Wallshaker Music label (including sub-label “Cherry Juice Recordings” ) plus heading his own music publishing company, Symphonic Storm Music Publishing, Aaron-Carl proves himself as a definite force to be reckoned with – and shows no signs of slowing down.
