Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Benjamin Rosolowski grew up listening to anything and everything he could get his hands on. Being from the Home of Rock & Roll, he took interest in the larger-than-life sounds of rock legends like Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin but left room for music from nearly every genre under the sun. From Beethoven to Metallica, Sturgil Simpson to Kid Cudi, Miles Davis to Muddy Waters and everything in-between.

      A self-taught, and classically trained musician, Rosolowski learned to play the cello, guitar, bass, drums, and piano before diving into music production at the age of fourteen. Music was always a part of his life in some form until in 2018 his heart went into AFIB. He collapsed on the kitchen floor and after his fiance called 911 was rushed to the hospital. The next year, he would attend EDC Las Vegas and realize electronic music is his home. From this moment on, he donned the name Cardio and put all of his musical efforts into making electronic music that brings people together.

    Cardio’s music has led him to intimate, underground sets alongside artists like Frameworks (UK), Emancipator, TroyBoi and 1788-L. In 2024 Cardio won Insomniac’s Electric Forest Discovery Project with guest judge LP Giobbi. With an innate ability to craft moving rhythms, and floating melodies, Cardio will find himself cemented on the list of artists to keep an eye on in the coming years.
