WHAT IT IS: 29-year-old Chicagoan John Summit has rapidly ascended the ranks in the electronic-music sphere with his mantra, “house music without limits.” Summit infuses high-octane charisma into performances at sold-out festivals and intimate club spaces, while launching his own label and events brand, Experts Only. His ability to captivate audiences has translated into hundreds of millions of global streams. Yet beneath his larger-than-life persona resides a down-to-earth artist who once worked as a CPA by day and taught YouTube music-production tutorials by night. Summit’s music effortlessly strikes a balance between accessibility and intricacy.
