John Summit
The Chicago CPA-turned-superstar who made tech house sing — Billboard hits, Madison Square Garden, and the Experts Only empire.
Who is John Summit?
The full story of John Summit's rise, sound and signature catalogue.
John Summit — born John Schuster in Naperville, Illinois — is one of the biggest names in modern house music. A former certified public accountant, he walked away from a corporate job at Ernst & Young in 2019 to chase music full-time, and within a year he had the dance world's attention.
His 2020 single “Deep End” became the longest-running Beatport #1 of the year, and a run of vocal-driven hits with singer Hayla — “Where You Are” and “Shiver” — pushed him onto the Billboard charts and festival mainstages worldwide. He runs the influential Experts Only label (originally Off the Grid).
John Summit released his debut studio album Comfort in Chaos in 2024 and followed it with Ctrl Escape in 2026, while headlining Madison Square Garden and taking on an Ibiza residency. Explore more artists in the DJ directory, or read more on John Summit's Wikipedia page.
