CID is undoubtedly one of the hardest working artists in dance music - rated by just about everyone from Lee Foss, Fisher, MK, Diplo, Sonny Fodera, Steve Angello and Kaskade as one of the best producers in the game. millions of streams to his name, and has toured the world, performing at the biggest events on the planet. The artist, DJ, producer, Night Service Only label boss and radio show host started his journey watching a local DJ spin at his dad’s restaurant. By age 11 he’d decided he wanted to learn how to mix.

Regular trips to Mainline Records taught him an essential DJ skill. The cost of vinyl forced him to carefully select each purchase, hand picking music became second nature while CID was still in college. At the time, New York was a hotbed for house music, with international DJs regularly performing in the city. CID was cutting his teeth in local bars when it dawned on him that producing and releasing his own music was the way to level up.

A chance meeting with an old friend led to an internship at a professional recording studio. CID’s first shift was assisting a session with Ashanti which ran until 6am the next morning. CID did what any hungry young producer would do. Slept on the couch and opened up the studio at 9am to do it all again. His work ethic, driven by his passion for music sets CID apart from his peers.

While working at the studio, CID partnered up with Greg Bahary (Hott 22). Together they worked on remixes for some of the biggest names around and before long CID began to catch the attention of more artists, including Cedric Gervais who enlisted his skills on the GRAMMY winning remix of Lana Del Ray’s ‘Summertime Sadness.’

Meanwhile, CID’s own artist project had picked up steam. Releases on some of the biggest dance music labels including Kaskade’s Arkade led to CID performing alongside him at every show on his album tour. This was a pivotal moment for CID who was finally able to spin his own music to huge crowds. Soon CID was booked for shows every week and he quickly decided to focus his production skills on his own artist project. Making club-shaking tracks that he and the most respected DJs in the game would want to play, week in week out.

Once again, CID’s work ethic and incredible skills as a producer shone through. Releases on Solotoko, Catch & Release, Repopulate Mars and his own Night Service Only label have cemented him as a Beatport chart topper and one of the most credible house music artists around. While his remix of “Audio” by Labrinth, Sia & Diplo (LSD) secured him a second GRAMMY nomination.

As a DJ CID has performed at just about every major festival you can think of including Coachella, EDC Las Vegas, Electric Zoo, Nocturnal Wonderland, Electric Circus, Lollapalooza and Tomorrowland, and the most iconic venues on the planet. CID has brought his take on house music to the likes of Hakkasan, Las Vegas to New York’s Webster Hall,
