In 2008, Ian Carey released the single "Get Shaky" (released as The Ian Carey Project) which peaked at Number.2 in Australia and entered the top-10 in the United Kingdom, Belgium and New Zealand. Ian is now based in Miami, but spends much of the year touring internationally.
Ian Carey has been a part of the worldwide house music scene for a number of years. Carey grew up in a small town in Maryland, United States of America, about 2 hours from Washington District of Columbia. His father was a live sound engineer and ran a sound reinforcement company and had engineered for such groups as Kool & The Gang and The Duke Ellington Orchestra.
Carey became involved with dance music while in college.
He had already experimented with the graffiti-writing scene in Baltimore, Doctor of Medicine, where he met a number of hip-hop DJs, which led to him becoming involved in DJing. He was also introduced to house music while working at a record store. The success of Carey"s first self-produced single "Rise" later influenced him to move to Europe to pursue a career in dance music production.
In 2011 Ian collaborated with Snoop Dogg and Bobby Anthony on his single "Last Night" which was also remixed by Afrojack.
