About Me


Voted "best DJ" in the Twin Cities by the readers of City Pages magazine seven years running (2003-09) & "best DJ" in the state by the Minnesota Music Academy (2005) Listed as one of the top 100 reasons to love the Twin Cities - METRO Magazine (October 08 issue)
I provide a fun, creative and professional atmosphere, taking a great deal of pride in the craft of presenting all genres of music to all styles of crowds.
I do not believe in annoying or cheesy microphone chatter. I am more than happy to facilitate corporate introductions or wedding traditions such as grand entrances and toasts, but believe the focus should be solely on the music and keep the microphone use at a minimum unless otherwise directed by the client.
In short, I am very passionate about what I do and it is reflected in every performance.
With a library of well over 10,000 CD's & LP's, I can cater to many different styles. I've played the hippest warehouse spaces in the Twin Cities to the classiest fortune 100 company events and everything in-between. I continually fill my calendar with weddings strictly by word of mouth and referrals...it's the only advertising I do!
