About Me


Funky house dj and producer living in the T-Dot, Don Sizzle earned his dancefloor stripes as a club-goer in Montreal in the late 90's. During this time you could find Sizzle most Fridays in the back left corner at Stereo, jackin' out to such legends as Derrick Carter, Mark Farina, and the then up-and-coming local Fred Everything.
During his time as a dj, Sizzle has had the pleasure of opening for talents such as Jason Hodges, Gryphon, Slater Hogan, John Larner, Dan X, Bryan Jones, Fred Everything, JT Donaldson, Jacob London, Miles Maeda, and Justin Long, at local establishments such as (the now defunct) System Soundbar and (the current T.O. hot spot) Footwork, among other underground locations.
Sizzle has recently turned his attention towards the production side of house music, and hopes to one day make records that will be played by the jocks that got him into it in the first place. Watch this space!
