lively. A top honor student and a shop sponsored

High School he has always felt that music was his calling.
With influences ranging from Mixmaster Mike, Q-Bert,

Christian Hosoi and Chris Miller, as his record collection grew
so did his overwhelming desire to play them in front of a
crowd.

he had pursued education and skateboarding. At a Rave in
Downtown Los Angeles that his brother was DJing,

never looked back. Ironically, since his introduction to professional DJing, he has gone on to graduate from the
