RYAN KAROLYI

At age 9 Ryan began in his musical journey. Playing piano and guitar as his first instruments, taking on trumpet in elementary school and later getting into drums in middle school. I played drums for 4 years in my church band and plenty of other bands as well. In 2012 I attended my first electronic music event and fell in love with the sound and the aspect of DJing. Months later buying my first controller and DJ setup I began DJing in bars, clubs and show settings. A little over a year later began DJing for a company and DJing more bars, weddings, private events and more. Now focusing mostly on weddings and private events in my DJ life I am also an event producer and run my company Aspire Higher not only throwing shows and selling over 55,000 tickets to date, but also running an electronic music label and artist management company. The live music setting has always been a love of mine since my first show in 5th grade so high energy weddings always get me excited!

Skills:

There are two great rewards to DJing; Being able to create an exciting atmosphere with music and being part of some of the greatest days of people's lives. Whether it's a wedding, private event or even a blowout college party it's Ryan's opinion that being there to help create memories to last a lifetime is the greatest reward in this career. Knowing each of those events is the most important day of the guest of honor's life to that point, the attention to detail is his primary concern. From introductions to his mixes for the dance floor, each moment is executed with precision.
