Биография

Eddie Cai, better known as Ionika, is a music producer, rapper, singer/songwriter, mixing & mastering engineer, and DJ from Watchung, New Jersey. Cai began producing music in his early pre-teen years, influenced by the styles of Skrillex, Monstercat, and Dabin. In late 2014, he went on to release his first EP, titled The Meltdown, a bass-heavy, synth driven collection of his early works. One year later, he decided to attend NYU Steinhardt's Summer Electronic Music Institute. He was the youngest in the program. It was this program where he was also mentored and taught by pop sensation, Lauv and experimental artist, Yonsei. 
 After the program, his influences switched to more experimental beat producers such as Flume, Ta-ku, and Dr. Dre. In 2016, he released his first debut album -- Reality. The 12-track album featured collaborations with several of his NYU friends, including Jacob Alexander and Anthony Sprunk. The album featured a more mature, experimental, melody-driven sound than his early EDM records. In 2019, Ionika released his sophomore XXXTENTACION and Scarlxrd influenced hip-hop album, MONSTER - where for the first time in his career, started to perform as a rapper, while also retaining the role of a producer. He has just released his junior album, ROYALTY. Currently, Ionika is pushing out genre-bending music, experimenting in different realms as a record producer rather than a recording artist.
