About Me

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

I was born in Montreal but raised in Toronto. Music was my first love and always will be. I saved money from my first part time job at a department store to buy my first set of decks. I've been fortunate to have great friends and supporters who have let me share my love for music with them.

In the summer of 2005 I teamed up with my good friend Randy Raleza to form The Audio Kings. We rocked great summer parties in the T Dot and released two mix CDs, 'Of Sound Mind' and 'Baby Shakin Music'.

I've really been blessed to be able to play the music I love in front of crowds at clubs across Toronto. I'm currently working on a solo mix CD as well as trying my hand at producing original material.

Keep on keepin' on!
