Welcome to my House!

About Me

House music has become a way of life. In my four years behind the decks, I have moved from playing hard house to a deeper and more groovin' style that I play around Portland now. I am also a beginning student of audio engineering and music production using Ableton Live. I have recently put up my first polished track "Dinner Rolls," which I produced with help from my mentor Dustin Schaerer. Feel free to hit me up with some feedback. I should have some more tracks up very soon.

Unfocused

So much that I want to do my mind is in a knot right now. I am not sure where my focus has went to, but I feel like a 10 year old with a horrible case of ADD. Even doing the things that I want to do...
