Rize

Solomon Parker, better known as hardstyle DJ & Producer Rize has been on the grind since 2007, when they first started performing. For over a decade, they've been knocking heads and blowing speakers with their unique brand of rapid-fire hard dance, blended with their undying love for old school hip hop. For the more traditional Hardstyle lover, one can check out their 2019 gem "Forever", their Infected Mushroom remix of "Going Insane", and many more releases throughout the years. In 2020, Rize took a new direction in their career. Incorporating their love of comics into their releases, artwork, live performances and more. Rize has also become a massive voice for the LGBTQ+ community, encouraging their fellow artists and promoters to put more POC, and LGBTQ+ artists within the community on lineups and labels. Having released official tracks on some of the most well known Hard Dance imprints on the globe, Rize recently became the first POC to ever join the Dirty Workz family. Being a new, but now key element to the Wolf Clan brand (Dirty Workz's hybrid sub label). Hosting their podcast for all things Wolf Clan, and hybrid entitled "Wolf's Den". Among many other honors, Rize also has the unique distinction of being the first American artist to perform at Kiddstock Festival, the leading hard dance event in the UK. Bringing the boom bap to Hardstyle., Rize never stops ascending to the highest heights.
