User:Djraedar

Born on July 27th 1993 in Oshawa Ontario, Raedar was given the birth name of Michael Rae by his parents Steve and Laura Rae. Growing up Raedar lived with his parents and brother (Matthew) and sister (Katelyn). When it became time for school, Raedar attended Dr. Emily Store Public school in Courtice Ontario where he spent his whole elementary school time at. It was during his time attending Stowe in which he became very interested in music. With his mother being a music teacher Raedar learned many different instruments from drums to guitar to trumpet and even vocals. But something just wasn't giving Raedar that feeling he was looking for. It was his grade 8 graduation dance in which Raedar decided Deejaying was what he wanted to do.

Raedar began his disc jockeying career with the name DJ Rae but later on changed it to DJ Raedar for a couple of reasons. He wanted an original name, something that no one else would have, but there was also the element of the story behind the name. Raedar did not just want to choose a name that would sound "sick" or use an inside joke as a name, there needed to be a story behind it. The idea of “radar” came from one of Raedar's biggest influences in his DJ Career, DJ Suga Ray. Summer of 2009, Raedar went on a Caribbean cruise in which Suga Ray was the guest dj. At this point Raedar was still going by the name "DJ Rae" and introduced himself to Suga Ray and they discussed what Suga Ray has done and some of the events he would be doing on the cruise. Turned out Suga Ray was hosting and teaching a course for new DJ's the whole duration of the cruise! So your asking the question....where is the story behind the name, Raedar was chosen partially to keep his name original "RAEdar" he decided to add on the "dar" because it represents the cruise ship in which Raedar met his biggest influence and motivation to get into the DJ business.

After starting his career performing for elementary school dances and fundraiser dances, he moved on to start with highschool’s and larger events. It was at this time when he came in contact with Jay Almeida who is now a close friend and fellow DJ as well as a major influence in Raedar's career here at home!. Jay saw something in Raedar that made him stand out from others. Not only did he think he had the talent but he felt that he would be able to market Raedar and make him very well known.

To this day Raedar has performed for thousands of people as well as at some of Canada's Largest Venues! Below you will see many of the different venues Raedar has played at as well as artists and other dj's he has performed with and/or opened for.
