DJ Amadeus is one of the fastest growing names on the international DJ and production circuit. Voted in the Top 100 in DJ Mag's Top 100 2005/06 polls and having played hugely successful tours along the likes of Christopher Lawrence in Asia, Russia, Ukraine, Canada and USA, it is through a combination of skill and the adulation of his fans that Amadeus is creating the classic American tale and storming up the world DJ chart.

For any fan of house and electronic music, growing up in 1990's New York was a true blessing. The club scene was blossoming and the music was pumping. Top names like Danny Tenaglia, Junior Vasquez, Carl Cox, Paul Oakenfold, Paul van Dyk, Sasha and John Digweed, Johnny Vicious, Jonathan Peters; and clubs like Tunnel, Limelight, Webster Hall,Ohm,Sound Factory and Exit proved to be hugely influential for a young DJ Amadeus. He began hanging around the clubs and took in as much information about what DJing was all about. He learned that it wasn't merely flawlessly mixing records back to back. Instead, there was a showmanship and a relationship to the crowd that really made a good DJ.

After years of observation and practice, Amadeus became a local hero in Brooklyn where he would often spin 5 times in one week and sometimes twice in one night. At an astonishing pace, DJ Amadeus climbed the ranks amongst New York's elite. In 1998, DJ Amadeus became the resident DJ at Tunnel. "Detour Saturdays" was the biggest Saturday party in the largest night club in New York City and that time.

While Amadeus was becoming a top name in his native New York, it wasn't until he started releasing his own productions that he went global.

Amadeus has used his skills and understanding of music production to create some of the most anthemic house tracks of the last decade. His debut track "The Arrival" was released in 2000 on Jonathan Peters' Deeper Records NYC and went on to be one of the highlights of Peters' own marathon sets at The Sound Factory. In fact, the track was so memorable that Peters often looped the tracks for 40 minutes. The follow-up track, "Let's Bounce" (Flash Traxx Records), became the biggest track at New York's Club Exit and DJ Tony Draper and Amadeus where known for playing this out every Friday before a crowd upwards of 5,000 People.

Logically, with Amadeus now producing global clubs hits, the global clubs now began calling for bookings. Amadeus went from DJing in Brooklyn and New York to hitting top clubs in the U.S. and Canada - with such exotic house music scene cities as Montreal (where he is amongst the city's most popular DJs), Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Xi'an, Kiev, Odessa, Kharkov, Ivanovo and Moscow. As proof of his global popularity, Amadeus has been a steady riser on DJ Mag's prestigious annual Top 100 DJ List.

Amadeus has used his growing fame to showcase his newest tracks around the world. His most recent original productions "Computer Virus," "Nature of Sound," "Secret Weapon", "Activate", "Don't Let Your Fears" (HMSPmusic), (Eden Recordings), (Eyezcream Recordings) became global hits and presages what is sure to be a massive 2007/08 for Amadeus. Already in the pipeline are a several new productions and planned tours of Asia, Europe, North and South America, Canada, Ukraine and Russia.
