Aaron-Carl Biography

Aaron-Carl’s music career began in 1996, when he signed to Underground Resistance’s "Mad" Mike Banks’ label, Soul City Records. The Metro Detroit native refused to be boxed into just one style and quickly made a name for himself by releasing his first two records, both of which were 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 extensive 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.

His music has been remixed by some of the industry’s top producers; such as, Ewan Pearson and Grammy award winner Peter Rauhofer / Club 69. Aaron has also remixed a variety of big-name artists, including jazz legend Manu Dibango and techno pioneers, Underground Resistance. In addition to producing and remixing, Aaron 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.

Aaron-Carl is featured in the ghetto-tech music documentary "The Godfather Chronicles", and also has songs featured in movies such as "Pick Up the Mic," and House music documentary "Maestro."

The art form of DJing is swiftly being robbed of its passion, skill and brilliance.

Nowadays, constant promotion is shrinking attention spans and brainwashing endless masses into settling for less.

Their choices are limited/controlled and therefore so is their range of independent growth.

Must raw talent, instinct and innovation now compete with a DJ’s ability to cheerlead or celebrate behind the "decks" ?

Real Booking represents some of the world’s most talented DJs who know how to rock the party.

We stand for equality, innovation and skill.

Our mission is to bring you the top level DJs you need to give your crowd a DJ set they will never forget.

We are the leaders, the example of what true DJing is all about.
