About Me

Living between Hawaii and Chicago all my life has brought a great balance to my personality and my outlook on life. I'm pretty much the laid-back, friendly, got the Aloha-spirit thing going on kinda guy. I thank Chicago for the bit of the 'edge' that I have as well. Music is a very big part of my life- I can't live without it. Currently, I'm in Chicago DJing and getting more into producing. I've been playing Drum & Bass for over 7+ years although I have actually been spinning since the late 80's. You will also catch me playing multi-genre sets when the opportunity arises. I'm part of Flux!Chicago DJ Collective, Sit-N-Productions, and I spin sets every Wednesday night for CHiTown UnderGround at Bassdrive.Com 24-Hour Drum & Bass internet radio.

My Interests

My family means EVERYTHING, good friends, good music, and good food! I love EVERYTHING Hawaiian and Filipino(I'm Ilocano)- it's all about the roots & culture...

Anyone & everyone- hit me up! I've always wanted to meet Robert DeNiro, Prince, and Jessica Alba. Also, although they've passed, I really would've loved to meet Bruce Lee, his son Brandon Lee, and Bob Marley.

Music:

I appreciate all genres, some more than others; as long as I can feel it! I can't live without my island music: Reggae, Hawaiian, Jawaiian. Electronic music, especially Deep Chicago House and Drum & Bass-Jungle.
