John Summit
John Walter Schuster (born July 29, 1994), also known by his stage name John Summit, is an American DJ, producer, songwriter and record label owner. He has performed for audiences at major festivals like Detroit Electronic Music Festival, Ultra Music Festival, Coachella, Lollapalooza, Tomorrowland, Austin City Limits Music Festival and Electric Daisy Carnival. Summit has performed at venues such as Red Rocks, BMO Stadium, The Kia Forum, and Madison Square Garden.
In 2024, Rolling Stone referred to him as "the hottest name in dance music", and Variety described him as "one of EDM's biggest rising stars". His music includes original tracks and remixes, with several reaching number one on the US dance charts.
Summit was born on July 29th, 1994, in Naperville, Illinois, outside of Chicago. He graduated from Neuqua Valley High School and later attended the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
While studying accounting at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Summit was a member of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity and DJed at local venues like The Red Lion in Champaign and Canopy Club in Urbana.
In 2019, he left his position as a CPA at Ernst & Young to pursue music production full-time, utilizing his personal savings. In 2020, Summit released 'Deep End' on Defected Records; the track became the longest-running Beatport No. 1 track that year.
More career growth followed in 2021 with the release of singles "Sun Came Up," a collaboration with Sofi Tukker, and "Human," (featuring Echoes) which became a No. 1 US dance track. By the end of 2021, he had over 4 million listeners on Spotify, increasing to 7.8 million by September 2023. To close out 2021, Dancing Astronaut named him its Breakout Artist of the Year and he became Beatport's top-selling artist in all genres in 2021.
In 2022 Summit toured Europe, Australia, and the US. While on tour, he started his own label and events brand, Off the Grid, which was rebranded in 2023 to Experts Only. The name "Experts Only" reflects his love of mountains and skiing, as does his stage name (originally just "Summit"). Since its launch, the label has released music by John Summit himself and various other artists. In 2022 Summit was named 1001tracklist's #4 Producer of the Year.
In early 2023, Summit released "Where You Are" (feat. Hayla) with Experts Only in partnership with Darkroom Records. The release, which Rolling Stone called "a festival mainstay," led him to his first Billboard Top 10 in March 2023, and in June, the record hit #1 on the Mediabase US Dance Radio chart.
