About Me

Well……I take a lot of these......I’m short and I happen to find odd people to be very fascinating. I love to watch people with no rhythm dance (besides it’s not about being a great dancer, it’s about enjoying the act of dancing, right?). I'm fortunate to have many good people in my life; and yes, I know a few assholes too; believe it or not, I’m a bit grateful for them on some level as well. I hate onions, multiple choice exams and b.o. on the dance floor (come on people). I love Cameras, vinyl (records not pants) and of course people with really bad hair especially mullets ( for entertainment only of course). Sometimes I envy ones ability to exercise ridiculousness. Believe it or not it's a very important virtue in my eyes, including trust, kindness and honesty. I’m also a big advocate of loyalty. If you ain’t got it, don’t bother. Some people think I am a typical Oregonian hippy. Yes, I recycle everything, have super long hippy hair and purchase bio friendly dish soap. Sometimes I even talk to trees. I don’t hug them though. 2007 will be my tenth year as a Dj in the on going electronic music movement. I happen to feel very lucky about the people and places that this industry has connected me with. Music has open avenues I never though I would get the chance to experience. I am grateful for my dearest and oldest friends (you know who you are) and for all the people who have supported me as an artist throughout the years. I’m also thankful for those who are key in my happiness, my Mom, my Man, my Brother and my truest of homies i.e. Az & Mr. Majors etc. Without people like y'all…… I would suck. Here are a few pictures of my Dj-ness, enjoy. music layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com
