ORIGINS AND INSPIRATIONS

CPayne’s entry into music was ignited by a deep passion for Electronic Dance Music, drawing early inspiration from legendary DJs like John Digweed, Carl Cox, and Armin van Buuren and from EDM sub-genres such as Trance, Techno, Bigroom among other mainstage festival styles. This passion led him on a global pilgrimage to iconic festival cities and events including Love Parade in Berlin, Sensation in Amsterdam, Ultra Music Festival in Miami, and EDC Las Vegas, experiences that helped shape his sound and artistic vision. 

 

FROM BANKING TO FULL-TIME EDM

While building a successful career in the North American banking sector, CPayne reached a decisive turning point in 2020, and immersed himself in electronic dance music, creating powerful, high-energy mixes driven by deep basslines while studying DJ hardware and software, music production techniques, equipment integration, and the fundamentals of mixing and mastering, laying the foundation for a professional transition from finance to full-time music and entrepreneurship. 

 

BIRTH OF DEEP WAVES MUSIC

Guided by this holistic vision, CPayne launched Deep Waves Music in Miami as a creative EDM hub encompassing a show, label, and live performance arm. Within its first months, Deep Waves Music was fully structured with a solid legal foundation, Miami studios, and the now-acclaimed Deep Waves Music SHOW™, positioning the brand as a platform for original releases, artist collaborations, clothing, and community-building in the dance music space.
