John Summit
John Summit got his start as an accountant in Naperville, Illinois, making house tracks on the side before "Deep End" took off in 2020 and turned him into one of dance music's biggest new names. He built his following the modern way, through club tracks that spread online and sets that pack festival stages, and he writes and produces his own material rather than relying on hired hands. His sound sits in the melodic end of EDM, built around big vocal hooks and steady, driving grooves.
