The story behind the music

DJ Cards - Globally Recognized EDM Artist
DJ Cards - Michael Cardamone

A Man of Many Faces: Attorney. DJ. Producer. Martial Artist.

I'm Michael Cardamone — a Philadelphia attorney who owns a small law firm, and who started making EDM last year after decades of playing drums and messing around with synthesizers. At 52, I finally put it all together. When I'm not in the courtroom or the studio, you'll find me training Muay Thai, BJJ, Karate, or Aikido. I make tracks for when you need energy, when you're driving somewhere at night, or when you just need to feel something. Life's thrown a lot at me, but I'm still here making music.

Interview

Goathead Records Q&ADJ Cards: Inside the Mind Behind the Music

What motivates you to create music?

“I was born a happy person and still am at 52 years of age. Despite an agonizing divorce and family deaths and life's punches that we all endure, nothing has stopped me from enjoying life every day. I absolutely love spreading joy, humor — and now music, to help inspire others.”

What inspired you to start writing music?

“I've always had a creative side. I played drums for years and tinkered with keyboards/synthesizers. But in the past few years, I've developed a love of electronic dance music. Putting it all together is really fun!”
