Ian Carey (* 13. September 1975 when Ian Harshman in Maryland ; † 20th August 2021 ) was an American House - DJ and music producer. He was under contract with Supraton .

life and career

Carey's father was a sound engineer who provided the amplifier technology for live concerts by music groups such as Kool and the Gang or the Duke Ellington Orchestra . During the school holidays, he took his son to the venues. Ian learned to play drums and also played in the high school band. During college in Baltimore, he became known to some hip-hop DJs and DJed himself.

After school he worked as a buyer in a record shop. He switched from hip-hop to house and got the equipment for his own productions. His first release, Rise with Jason Papillon as Soul Providers with Michelle Shellers as singer, was a club hit in Great Britain and made it into the official charts in 2001. A series of records with Papillon was created by 2004.

In 2003 he turned away from America and moved to Europe, where he worked with Eddie Amador (Mochico) under the project name Saturated Soul . He also began releasing under his own name or as "Ian 45 Carey" and he became a busy and sought-after remixer. His trademark is his "funky bassline".

In 2007 he had a Europe-wide hit with a reworking of Rise under the new title Keep On Rising , again with Michelle Sheller's voice, which among other things reached number 10 in the Top 40 in the Netherlands. The next single Red Light was also particularly successful in his adopted home, the Netherlands.

In the same year he started the Ian Carey Project . With the second release under this name he had his biggest hit. The single Get Shaky first appeared in Australia in late 2008, where it reached number 2 on the charts and went platinum for 70,000 copies sold. The video for the song also won an MTV Award for Best Dance Video. Carey was similarly successful in New Zealand, where he reached 7th place and gold . In the summer of 2009 Get Shaky was released in Great Britain and immediately entered the top 10 of the charts there.

He died in August 2021. The cause of death is so far unknown.
