How John Summit Went From Accountant to Jet-Setting DJ-Artist Selling Out Madison Square Garden


John Summit on his debut album 'Comfort in Chaos,' going from DJing college parties and accounting to selling out Madison Square Garden.

The up-and-comer has delivered high-energy sets worldwide and closed out massive festivals from Coachella to EDC, in addition to selling out his own headlining performances at MSG (in the span of two hours) and BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. Raised in the Chicago suburb Naperville, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign alum and self-trained producer worked as a certified public accountant by day post grad, and taught music production tutorials at night. Amid a busy week of traveling, playing shows and dropping his debut album — and while being on just one hour of sleep — Summit opens up about his journey from frat parties to main stages, his massive social media following and how he finds comfort in this surrounding chaos.
