Ian Carey. He’s sold over a million records across every format; has dj’ed in over 50 countries, produces the biggest house anthems AND runs his own label – GFAB Records. His discography, label associations and partners read off like a VIP guest list for a Miami Winter Music Conference Industry Party. Ian Carey is a DJ at heart with a rich musical history that has made him a legendary key player in the house scene worldwide.Ian grew up in a small town in Maryland, USA; about 2 hours from Washington DC. He was exposed to music at a young age, as his father (RIP) was a live sound engineer and ran a sound reinforcement company. His father engineered for such groups as Kool and The Gang and The Duke Ellington Orchestra. Also, his mother played guitar and sang as a hobby. By the time he was 7 or 8 years old he was able to mic a stage for a concert and travel along with his father during summer vacation making tour stops all over America from east to west. In high school, Ian played drums and was even in the school marching band.Ian discovered dance music while he was in college. Already a part of the graffiti-writing scene in Baltimore, MD he met hip-hop DJs which led him to his next passion. So, he put down his spray can and bought some turntables. He started djing and played mostly hip-hop. Then worked at a record store as a buyer/sales rep where he was properly introduced to house music.
