Rize

Solomon Parker, better known as hardstyle DJ & Producer Rize has been on the grind since 2007, when he first started performing. In doing so, he would become the first African American to not only pursue Hardstyle, but to make a name for themselves in the genre. Gaining support from & sharing the stage with the likes of Headhunterz, Max Enforcer, Darren Styles, DJ Stephanie, Kutski, and embarking on a Canadian tour with platinum award winning artist Dr. Phunk to name a few, he has cemented himself as an international name. For more than a decade, he's been knocking heads and blowing speakers with his unique brand of gut-punching hardstyle and rapid-fire hard dance. Which sees him mixing in euphoric old school melodies, with hip hop, and HEAVY bass drops (such as his excellent 2017 cut "Get Down," which epitomizes his hardstyle-meets-dubstep sound). For the more traditional Hardstyle lover, one can check out his 2019 gem "Forever" (reminding us of the origins of Hardstyle with insane reverse bass, mixed in with his new style melodies). Rize has released official tracks on some of the most well known Hard Dance labels on the globe. Among many other honors, Rize also has the unique distinction of being the first American artist to perform at Kiddstock Festival, the leading hard dance event in the UK. Ascending to the highest heights, the best is yet to come.
