Profile:
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.
