Musician, photographer, writer, artist, thinker, dreamer... Life is about finding a balance and being happy while you're here... My music helps me find and achieve that balance.
I am also a photographer and traveler and have driven alone all over the United States and traveled through a lot of Europe. I have driven to upstate New York, down to South Beach Miami, Chicago, and I have driven to California twice; once to Long Beach L.A. area, and once to Santa Cruz. I have documented these travels and other things that have captured my attention at my spot at:

My journeys have taken me to some intense places physically and spiritually. As much as I have learned, I am still finding myself picking up new lessons from those experiences and life, in general. Life is an incredible journey. Keep your eyes open and experience as much as you can while you still can...
Born in Ohio and raised in the northern VA area, my life always made some attachment to art and music. Each of my family members had very different musical tastes and I had a lot of exposure to each of their musical collections which, in total, spanned from one end of the musical spectrum to the other.
In the 80's, I started to discover what my own musical tastes were and they continued to develop well into the 90's. In the early 90's I had my first taste of pure electronically driven music and by the time I was in college, I had grasped a full understanding of techno (edm) and raves. Having my eyes opened to this world I knew what it was I had been missing because it finally completed me. I was so impressed that I felt the need to do for others what had been done for me. Everyone should feel and experience what I felt. What possibly amazed me most of all was it all happened without drugs or alcohol. I should add now that you should do what you want as long as it doesn't hurt others. We all have our closets to fill with skeletons. ;) More of these sorts of thoughts can be found in my blog.
I started dj'ing in '87, more seriously in '94 as djsquelch. I spin and produce all styles of edm including ambient, downtempo, lounge, world, acid jazz, idm, trance, minimal, acid, house, techno, breaks, jungle, dnb, avant-garde, noise, hardcore, happy hardcore, gabber, experimental, industrial, dub, reggae, turntablism, jazz, disco, rock, and spoken word. I started producing in '92 as phase shifts. My equipment includes keyboards, a mac, a pc, a ton of software, several instruments, and random equipment. Music is my passion and I will always be involved with it in some way throughout my life. I hope you will enjoy what I do. Thank you...
