ARIA DJ Of The Week: Garry Sheba

Meet the Melbourne EDM DJ/producer.

“It's all about Love and Dopamine. I want to bring people together, but most of all, I want to create moments for people that they will never forget. Music is the tool I use to achieve that and DJing gives me the platform to deliver it.”
 
Garry was first introduced to electronic dance music in 2009 after listening to underground trance records from a handful of DJ's & producers across Europe. Garry was already writing and producing Australian Hip Hop at the time, but at the age of 17 when he discovered the European dance music scene, you can be certain that he has not looked back since. This became a defining moment in Garry's life as he chose to move away from his hometown in the country to pursue a music career with the hope of one day sharing the stage with his idols. “I've always believed that If I wasn't exactly where I wanted to be, then I had work to do.”
 
Garry chose to move to Melbourne to follow his dreams and advance his knowledge by taking on a Bachelor’s Degree in Audio Engineering and Music Composition. During this period Garry has topped the charts on Triple J's Unearthed Dance Charts, he has had releases through Drum Media Magazine including music compilations from Off The Record, he has featured on documentaries and television shows including IBA World Tour and Fuel TV and has featured on The Daily Rave Digest and iHeartRadio.
 
In 2015, Garry signed a worldwide publishing deal with Knight Music Publishing followed by a deal with an Australian record label, 405 Recordings - Australian home to Armin
van Buuren, Tiesto, Cosmic Gate, Dash Berlin and many more. Later that year Garry released “Fallen Angel” featuring the vocals of Tash Knight which coincided with mixing his first Trance Compilation for 405 Recordings with releases making it Australia wide through all of the major music outlets.
 
Garry has climbed his way through the Australian night club scene and now holds residency at one of Australia's most respected night clubs – The Albion Rooftop, where he plays alongside some of Australia's most well-known and strongest DJ acts including Andy Van, Marcus Knight and Jolyon Petch. Garry has also supported many other world class DJ's and artists including International DJ Roger Sanchez and superstar vocalist Inaya Day.
 
In 2019 Garry launched his own weekly music podcast called Elevation Nation with the goal of elevating everyone who listens to it. Elevation Nation features all of the best music from his DJ sets, from new unreleased singles right through to hard to find underground dance anthems, Garry delivers an explosive hour each week to his fans with new shows arriving every Monday night. Elevation Nation has broken top 5 in various charts around the world and continues to climb the charts and grow each week.
 
You can find Garry DJing all across Melbourne at his weekly residencies at venues such as Ludlow Bar, Temperance Hotel and The Albion Rooftop.
