Hey everyone! My name is Cade Siebecker, and I’m currently based in Miami, Florida. I’ve been producing all types of dance music for nine years now, which is honestly terrifying to type out. Very early on, I grew up listening to all kinds of dance music without even realizing that’s what it was. In 2011, on the way to middle school baseball practice, a friend introduced me to trap music in the backseat of his dad’s car. I’d say that moment changed my life forever and I couldn’t believe music could sound like that. In hindsight, it was probably the rough mixdowns that got me hooked. It wasn’t polished like radio music, it didn’t follow familiar structures, and it felt completely left-field. I became obsessed. At the same time, my love for Call of Duty and sniping introduced me to dubstep and drum & bass. While I knew about Skrillex like everyone else during those formative years, this is where dance music became a true passion. It was something I felt proud to call my own - something no one else in my world really understood or related to. That’s the earliest memory I have of finding purpose and value in something I discovered entirely on my own. I really got my music career off the ground at the University of Florida, where I spent years grinding club and bar opportunities wherever I could find them under the name "Butler". While it may sound stereotypical now, the fraternity DJ route in 2018 was surprisingly nuanced. I was carving out a path where, at least to me, none really existed. I had no mentorship or guidance - just a gut feeling about what the right decisions were. I learned most lessons as they hit me directly in the face. Through that process, I grew to deeply value mentorship - not just within dance music, but in life as a whole. I started seeking it wherever I could, and eventually offering it as well. I really want to highlight people like GRAM and Leondis, who gave me an early platform to speak life into them and their careers (or at least attempt to at the time hahaha). In reality, I needed them just as much. Teaching them forced me to teach myself, and through constant accountability, we all grew together. They didn't need me at ALL as they're immensely talented on their own, but the community we built pushed everyone to a higher level.
