About Me

New York's best dressed DJ!
I play a wide variety of styles including 60's garage, funk/soul, go-go, blues, rock, punk rock, hard rock, soft rock, indie-rock, classic rock, Plymouth Rock, lounge/exotica, latin, be-bop, doo-wop, boogaloo, old-school, new wave, disco, oddities, 20's through now...
Some of the events I've DJ'ed include the Burlesque Hall of Fame (Exotic World) '08 and '09, The NY Burlesque Festivals (all of them), The Virgin Music Festivals in Baltimore '06 & '07, The Rothbury Music Festival '08 (MI), The Vespa Soho grand opening (where I got to spin some tunes for and shake hands with Tony Bennett - righteous...), The Dreamland Roller Rink Grand Opening (Coney Island), and The Atlantic Antic Street Festivals (Brooklyn) '04, '06, '07 & '08.
Currently I'm at The Slipper Room weekly for wild stomping go-go & burlesque in the Lower East Side! I am also regularly at the Royale and The Last Exit in Brooklyn playing funk/soul, old school and all kinds of danceables.
I spin occasional in-and-out-of-town events for burlesque legends, The World Famous Pontani Sisters (NYC), Trixie Little & The Evil Hate Monkey (Baltimore), and Lobsterboy (DC) to name a few.
I've done parties at multiple venues throughout New York City from large nightclubs such as The Roxy, The Limelight and The Supper Club to theaters, smaller venues, basement parties and other establishments of ill-repute.
You can find me at a wide range of events such as burlesque/vaudeville nights, funk & soul parties, bizarre theme nights, swing dance parties, roller-skating parties, corporate parties, holiday parties, and even weddings, b-days, and children's events!
I am proficient in running basic sound for live music, and I have also provided sound-scaping services for small nightclubs, restaurants, retail venues and even for international Gucci retail outlets (through Scratch Academy).
Please see my calendar below for upcoming events!

I'll be around town strumming on the ukulele or toying with some sort of keyboard or drum machine. You can hear my original indie-pop music with GIGI & POP, and bluegrass-ish punk rock with THE BITS (w/Kerosene Annie). Played a few years with PALEFACE (keyboards, drums), and indie rock with INSIDE SEKA as well as THE NEW LOWS (drums).

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

you are a spastic and damn proud of it. you love moonlit drives, the fireside and cat juggling...by the way, i need a juggling partner. want to learn how to pass pins (the cats will have to wait 'til next year). you will join me in my quest to overrun the Mermaid Parade with SEA MONKEYS. you don't HAVE to ride a unicycle, but it's a definite PLUS. you would love to have GIGI & POP play a live set at your burlesque show...you think polyester is SEXY. you are also sick and tired of male rockstars singing like Cher (no - Eddie Vedder was NOT the first). you understand the socio-political, biological, ecological and socio-psycological importance of Screamin' Jay and Hasil Adkins. you dig wasabi peas. primates make you happy...and yes, you like pina coladas. anybody seen my WIFE??? LUCKYYY! oh, LUUUKKKKIIIIIIIIIIIIII....i hear she's spinning plates now...
