## Early life

He first became interested in music making in 2013, when he started using FL Studio 10. He uploaded samples he made using the software onto his account "TanookiMetalLuigi218" on the now deleted website KidsTube. One song he made "Low to High" was uploaded to the site on May 28, 2013. He also took a heavy interest in Sparta remixes.

## Career

DJ GameOn originally began making music with GarageBand in the summer of 2015, when he uploaded his first song "It's On" on August 25, 2015. He eventually got a SoundCloud and started uploading music to it. This led to the creation of his first compilation album, *Like a Boss*, released on December 17, 2015. He additionally uploaded music to Newgrounds, and to his YouTube page.

In 2016, he became interested in the game Geometry Dash and wanted to get his music in the user created levels in the game. He was eventually scouted on Newgrounds which led to use of his songs "Titanium" and Overdrive" in the game. These two songs were also the first of his songs he uploaded to the major streaming services. On June 21, 2016, DJ GameOn released his first album *High Life,* which included "All Night/The Dream", one of his most popular songs. That summer, he took notice of "type beats" emerging and began selling beats on BeatStars and YouTube.

Later on that year, he uploaded "Take It Slow" to YouTube on December 13, 2016, which amassed over 135K views, making it his most popular song. He also sold his first beat for $30 on December 19, 2016.

On May 30, 2017, he released his second album *Days After High Life,* which included "Lowkey.", one of DJ GameOn's most popular songs on streaming services. This is where he wanted to start seeing himself as an artist rather than a beatmaker.

In late 2017, he began working on his next album, *Black Friday,* which first released in September 2017 until being revised into its final version on January 12, 2018. *Black Friday* proved to be DJ GameOn's most successful album, as he personally considered it his magnum opus, and it was his most played album at 8.1K streams across all streaming services. It included "All Black" and "East Side", the most streamed DJ GameOn songs on Spotify, sitting at 1.1K and 4.1K respectively. He also uploaded a type beat to YouTube called "Mars" on February 23, 2018, which was used in the 2020 song "YEAHYEAH" by Troyman. On June 1, 2018, he released his fourth album *Waves*, which included "10PM in Los Angeles" and "Set Free". On June 24, 2018, he released an EP called *worthless,* which included "No Distractions" and "FML." 2018 proved to be a highly successful year for DJ GameOn.

That summer, he announced that his next album would be called *Flying Free*, and would be released September 7, 2018, alongside a short film. This ultimately did not end up happening and instead clarified on September 27, 2018, that his fifth album would be called *antisocial,* which would eventually be released on March 22, 2019*. antisocial* included "Nightfall", his fourth most popular song on Spotify. His final non-single EP uploaded as DJ GameOn, *DISCONNECT* was released on August 17, 2019. On March 15, 2020, DJ GameOn released his final song "I Wonder" via SoundCloud. In early 2021, most of his releases were manually taken down due to no longer wanting to be associated with it.

However, this was reversed; on August 25, 2023, *all* of DJ GameOn's music was re-uploaded onto streaming services, the eighth anniversary since the first song by DJ GameOn was created.
