His unique ability to cross over between styles like vocal house and hard-hitting electro funk has made Aaron-Carl one of the most interesting recording artists from Detroit. Impossible to pigeonhole, his discography features a wide variety of styles - from soulful, deep house cuts like "Crucified", "Sky" and the Billboard-charting anthem "My House," to funky, jacking electro tracks like "Down", "No No" and "21 Positions."

Back in 1996, armed with little more than a cheap keyboard & a four-track cassette tape recorder, Aaron-Carl proved early on that he could hold his own in Detroit's Electronic Music Scene.  A demo tape landed into the hands of Underground Resistance's "Mad" Mike Banks, and Aaron was quickly signed to Banks' Soul City record label.  Even then, Aaron refused to be boxed into one genre.  His first two records were released at the same time:  "Crucified," a soulful deep house vocal, and "Wash It," a cheeky underground club banger.  While both records received great critical acclaim, it was "Down" (an explicit electro-house track on the B-side of "Wash It") that became -- and remains one of Aaron's biggest records to date.

Ron Murphy (NSC Mastering) and "Mad" Mike Banks were strong mentors during that time.  "It wasn't enough for me to write great songs," Aaron says.  "They taught me how to make great RECORDS…" Aaron compares their guidance to boot camp.  "They saw my potential, and wouldn't accept anything less than my best."  He describes, "Mike held meetings with all the producers on the label.  He'd play the hottest tracks at the time, and would challenge us to go home and do better."

Aaron-Carl's productions have graced various labels throughout the world, including Subject Detroit, Metroplex, Kompakt, Sirkus and Universal France.  He has worked with international artists like Chicago House legend Dajae, Icelandic techno stars Gus Gus, and African jazz great Manu Dibango, to name a few.  In addition, he has remixed some of Detroit's biggest artists, like Underground Resistance, Kelli Hand, SCAN 7 & AUX 88.  Today, Aaron continues to work with established artists like Quentin Harris & CeCe Peniston, as well as up & coming artists like current protégé, Erica LaFay.
