Early life and music career edit

 
DJ Amadeus

Born in Kharkiv, Ukraine, Denys Ivanov emigrated to the United States with his parents in 1989, when he was 13 years old.[1][2] The son of two professional singers, he was placed in music school at an early age, studying piano before becoming interested in DJing in the '90s.[2] After DJing in various venues, he became the resident DJ at Tunnel in 1998.[3] In 2000, DJ Amadeus produced his first original track, “The Arrival”, on Jonathan Peters’ Deeper Records NYC.[4] He followed this up with "Let's Bounce", on Flash Traxx in 2002.[1] In 2002, he also became a resident DJ of the Imagine Party at the Carbon/Mirage nightclub, which would later be renamed Exit.[5] In subsequent years, he was the resident DJ for the M2 and the Pink Elephant, and in 2011, he was the resident at Skyroom.[6][7] Currently DJ Amadeus is releasing his own music and touring, with his two latest tracks, "Must Be That Look" and "Goes Around," released on Germany's Tiger Records.[8][9]
