Patrick Kaiser, aka Haus of Kaiser, has a deep-seated passion for music as a refuge, a place where they find inspiration, release, and feel most in their element.

 

Already possessing an innate ability for music, Patrick developed his ear while becoming an accomplished musician on drums, guitar and saxophone.  When the opportunity arose in the late 70's to mix vinyl in the DJ booth at a local roller rink, he was instantly hooked on the groove.  With inspirations ranging from classic rock and jazz to funk, R&B, soul, and disco, it was only natural that they gravitated towards house music once it emerged onto the scene.



Fast forward to today's digital age and Patrick is living out his self-described "crazy dream" to DJ and play music for the masses.  Patrick is equally as comfortable with getting a pool party moving as he is settling the night with a smooth afterhours groove. He spends considerable time in his home studio (dubbed "The Sanctuary") honing his craft to evolve and grow as an artist.  

Haus of Kaiser continues to build a solid foundation as an up-and-coming DJ and prepare for future endeavors wherever the music takes them.  Enjoy the journey!
