Ian Carey is an American house DJ, musician and record producer based in Miami, United States. Carey has performed as a disc jockey since 1993 and worked as a record producer since 1998.[1] Working with Jason Papillon as part of Soul Providers, their first single, "Rise", was a major crossover hit in Europe and the US and achieved Gold certification in the UK.[2][3]
Unhappy with the house music scene in America, Carey moved to the Netherlands from the US in 2003 and then on to Spain in 2006. In 2008, Ian Carey released the single "Get Shaky" (released as The Ian Carey Project) which peaked at No.2 in Australia and entered the top-10 in the UK, Belgium and New Zealand.[4][5] The singles achieved Double Platinum certification in Australia and Gold certification in New Zealand. The song also won the award for Best Dance Video at the MTV Australia Awards 2009.[6] Ian is now based in Miami, but spends much of the year touring internationally.

Ian Carey has been a part of the worldwide house music scene for a number of years.
Carey grew up in a small town in Maryland, USA,[2] about 2 hours from Washington DC. Her
father was a live sound engineer and ran a sound reinforcement company and had engineered for such groups as Kool & The Gang and The Duke Ellington Orchestra.
Carey became involved with dance music while in college. He had already experimented with the graffiti-writing scene in Baltimore, MD, where he met a number of hip-hop DJs, which led to him becoming involved in DJing. He was also introduced to house music while working at a record store. The success of Carey's first self-produced single "Rise" later influenced him to move to Europe to pursue a career in dance music production. His song "Get Shaky" reached the top ten and was world champion Czech Republic's official goal song at the IIHF Ice Hockey World Cup in Germany. In 2011 Ian collaborated with Snoop Dogg and Bobby Anthony on his single "Last Night" which was also remixed by Afrojack.

Say What may refer to:
Say What?! is a music game application that involves tapping icons on a scrolling conveyor belt to match words from song lyrics, while the songs play. The initial download of this application is available for free via the App Store, with four included tracks: one from a big Sony Music artist, and three from emerging acts signed to Music In Colour. Tracks from Sony are sold via in-app payments of £1.49 per song. The game launched on August 10, 2011 with a free track from Calvin Harris and also features songs from a diverse range of artists including Kasabian, The Zutons, Scouting for Girls, The Hoosiers, Toploader and The Nolans, with new tracks being added weekly. The game also launched with songs from three brand new artists from new record label, Music In Colour.; Gudny, Mercston and Gus Warriner.
The game uses a scrolling collection of icons, which relate to individual highlighted words within the lyrics to the current song, which are displayed above. If the word 'I' is highlighted, the player might have to tap on an eye icon, for example, while 'down' might be the cue to tap on a downward-facing arrow. At higher difficulty levels, the clues get more cryptic. Users can also challenge their friends, other fans and the artists themselves.
"Say What" is a single by LL Cool J from the hip-hop compilation, Violator: The Album. It was released on August 3, 1999 for Violator Records and Def Jam Recordings and featured production from Vinnie Biggs. In addition to Violator: The Album, Say What would also make an appearance on the soundtrack to LL's movie, Deep Blue Sea.
