Brett Henrichsen has always had a passion for dance music. Working by day as a Marketing Specialist for IBM, Brett spent nights in clubs and record stores watching and learning from top DJ’s and listening to his favorite style of music: high energy, vocal and progressive dance.
Frustrated to learn that the vast majority of music he was hearing in the clubs was not available for purchase by the general public, he started the CD compilation series Masterbeat in an effort to make these tracks available to more than just the nightclub DJ. The series proved to be immensely popular and led Brett to leave the corporate world to start his own independent record label, Trax Recording.
Brett met his first artist Erin Hamilton through mutual friends and introduced her to the dance and gay community by producing their first single, "Dream Weaver". Trax Recording continued to produce original dance hits with Erin Hamilton’s "The Flame" and debut album "One World", along with singles from other artists including Lonnie Gordon and Sheryl Lee Ralph. Always fascinated by the skills and talent of DJ's, it was the next logical step in Brett's musical career to begin DJ’ing himself. After years of “on the job training” running a record label, attending clubs and major events and feeling everyone’s frustration after an occasional night of “off music”, Brett quickly rose to the top of DJ stardom after appearances at several major circuit parties. |

In just a few short years since his first DJ gig, Brett has gone on to play at almost every major circuit event in the United States, including Gay Days Orlando, New York Pride Pier Dance, San Diego Zoo Party, Cherry 8, White Party Palm Springs and White Party Miami, Masterbeat New Year’s Los Angeles, Miami New Year’s and many more. Brett has received rave reviews from every venue and event he has played; including international acclaim for his 10 hour guest set at the Amsterdam White Party, the largest circuit event in Europe. Brett is one of the few US circuit DJ’s to ‘crossover’ to the international mainstream and routinely plays abroad in Amsterdam, Ibiza, London, Paris, Sydney, Sao Paulo and Rio. Brett is also a resident DJ on Atlantis cruises. Chances are you'll find Brett on a dance floor near you as he travels virtually every weekend playing at clubs and events around the world.
