Elevation has seen rapid success through his musical production talents. Born in Detroit, Michigan, in the United States, Elevation's interest in music was visible from the start. By the young age of five this interest really began to soar when he touched the piano for the first time in his life. He was immediately fascinated by the instrument and the sound that it made and continued to play for years. To further feed his burning passion for music he was introduced to playing the organ when he was eleven years old. After many years of classical training, and winning first place college level musical scholarships at ages twelve through fourteen, he discovered Electronic Dance Music.
In 2001, when Trance was at its first peak, Elevation purchased his first pair of turntables and a mixer. After getting his feet wet behind the decks and being inspired by artists like BT, ATB, Sasha & Digweed, Paul Oakenfold, Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk, and Armin Van Buuren, to name a few, he began to create music on his own.

Elevation's production skills truly began to soar in August of 2002, while using the infamous bedroom production software, Fruity Loops. During the course of the following year, he produced countless tracks, many of which became favorites among friends and others with whom he shared his work. Shortly after May of 2003, Elevation upgraded his producing software to Reason 2.5, rendering him able to unleash the full potential of his talent.
Elevation's breakthrough arrived when he submitted a project of his, then entitled Clear Blue Sky, to well-known DJ and producer, Markus Schulz. Schulz, having a keen ear for talent, quickly began work on the track with Elevation, who soon became Schulz's protégé. After working together for a few short weeks, Schulz and Elevation produced the masterpiece of progressive-trance, Clear Blue. Released on Armada Music imprint Electronic Elements, Clear Blue has seen success worldwide with some of the biggest names in trance today. Together with Markus, Elevation helped conceive the sound that has come to be known as "Coldharbour". Then, at age 16, Elevation reached heights he never foresaw.
During the course of 2004, Elevation found himself busier than ever. Expanding his DJ career, he began a semi-monthly residency at the prominent club Bleu in Detroit. He has played packed venues in Miami and other places around the US, playing alongside such greats as Armin van Buuren, Gabriel & Dresden, Max Graham, and of course Markus Schulz. Don’t be fooled though, he hasn’t slacked off in producing! In August of 2004, Elevation completely upgraded his studio and from then on his achievements continued to multiply.

In 2005, Inspired by Airwave, Funabashi, Andrew Bennett, and Andy Moor, he began to explore new sounds. He created his first solo production Ocean Rain which is featured on A State of Trance 2005, Mixed by Armin Van Buuren. Following shortly thereafter Elevation was approached by Armin Van Buuren to remix the single on his artist album Shivers. He also delivered a storming remix of Hammer & Bennett - Language released on Coldharbour Recordings. He has also spent a great deal of time collaborating on the Markus Schulz album. In july, Markus Schulz & Elevation stepped in to the studio once again! This time to give Nalin & Kane's "Open Your Eyes" the Coldharbour remix treatment, which received confirmed support from Tiesto, Talla 2XLC, Armin Van Buuren, Edgar V, and more.
Elevation continues to vigorously work at developing sounds in his productions and DJ sets and will make his DJing debut around the world – Watch out Europe! Catch him at a club near you soon!

Kristina Sky discovered Dance Music at the age of 16 when she began attending underground parties in L.A. It wasn’t very long before she went from attending these events, to organizing and throwing them. Sky threw commercial and underground events from the age of 16-22. Her events took her following all over Southern California from Santa Barbara to L.A. to San Bernardino to the Mojave Desert.
After years of throwing parties, managing local DJs and being a dance music lover, Kristina Sky realized that she wanted to start becoming a DJ instead of just booking and managing them.
Kristina got a pair of old decks from her boyfriend, started collecting vinyl and the rest is history.
In early 2002, Kristina Sky was booked to play her first event and the response was very positive.
Since then Kristina Sky has been pounding her style of euphoric, melodic, driving progressive and epic trance into the heads of Trance Lovers all over the world.

Kristina Sky also maintains a 3 year residency www.etn.fm, one of the biggest and most respected Trance and Progressive online radio stations in the world, where regulars from all over, tune in to hear the latest and greatest in trance and progressive, interpreted by KSky.
She's just picked up a new residency with XM Satellite Radio's 'Lost Episode' Clubnights, alongside talented DJ and Lost Episode Host, Victor Dinaire.

2006 is already looking to be a big year for Sky as she is already confirmed to play several big Spundae shows, along with a huge upcoming debut performance at Coachella, one of the biggest music festivals in the U.S. She also has international offers in Canada, Germany, Holland and the UK to name a few.

Kristina Sky has developed a very loyal following that appreciates her passion and energetic performances. This following is what fuels her to keep playing.
Bottom line, whether it is a warm-up set for a major headliner or playing a peak time slot, Kristina Sky is ready to rock the dancefloor and get the crowd moving.
Her mission is clear: to play the tracks that clubbers want to hear and to give clubber’s the opportunity to see and interact with an exciting act that will set them up for the ultimate nightclubbing experience.
