About John Summit

John Schuster grew up in the western suburbs of Chicago, studied accounting at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and worked as a CPA in the city for several years before turning music into a full-time job. By his own account in interviews with Mixmag, Billboard and Rolling Stone, the pivot happened in stages rather than all at once. He began DJing Chicago clubs and warehouse parties on weekends in the late 2010s under the John Summit name, building a local profile around the city's tech-house scene before quitting the day job in 2020. The timing turned out to be unusually fortunate. Deep End, released through Off the Grid's predecessor label in summer 2020, became one of the defining tracks of the pandemic-era dance market — it was streamed heavily on the platforms that took over from clubs during lockdown, sat at the top of the Beatport tech-house chart for an extended run, and gave him a calling card just as venues began to reopen. La Danza followed and reinforced the tech-house lane. Then in 2022 he founded Off the Grid as a label and event series, partnered with the producer-vocalist Hayla on a string of collaborations, and shifted toward the more melodic, song-driven side of dance that the broader genre was moving into at the same time. Where You Are, the 2023 single with Hayla, was the breakthrough that made the arena tour viable. It crossed over from dance radio into more general pop programming, generated a video that did real numbers on YouTube and TikTok, and led directly to a Grammy nomination at the 2024 ceremony for Best Dance/Electronic Recording — one of a small number of nominations that year that went to a single from outside the traditional electronic-album lane. Shiver, another Hayla collaboration released later in 2023, followed the same pattern and gave the live show a second crossover anchor. Light Years and Comfortable extended the run into 2024. Around the music, Off the Grid has become a touring brand of its own. The label hosts day-into-night events at venues like Brooklyn Mirage in New York, Factory Town in Miami and Forest Hills Stadium when the band can clear a routing window, and the events function as both a label showcase and an extended set for Summit himself, often running six to eight hours with a rotating roster of guests. He is based primarily in Chicago and Los Angeles depending on the touring cycle, and the Off the Grid roster has grown to include producers like HoneyLuv, Layla Benitez and a small group of artists working in the same melodic-tech-house lane.
