Early life

[edit]

Born in Chicago,[7] Kaskade grew up in nearby Northbrook and attended Glenbrook North High School.[8] As a teenager, he bought music at Gramaphone Records on Clark Street in Chicago.[9] His brother, Rich Raddon, became an entrepreneur and film producer.[10] Ryan attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah from 1989 to 1990, working on DJ skills in his dorm room.[7][11] At age 19, Ryan Raddon went on a two-year full-time mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Japan.[7] Next he went to the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, eventually graduating with a degree in communications.[7][12] While attending school, Kaskade and his close friend Jodi Call ran a record store in Salt Lake City called Mechanized.[13]

Soon after, Raddon created his alter ego, Kaskade, which his wife worried would remind people of the dish detergent.[14] He took his stage name from a nature book when he saw a picture of a waterfall and a co-worker agreed "cascade" was a good choice, but he changed the spelling.
