About Me

Most of you know me as a DJ. Hmm. I guess but my sexual preference leans more towards musician than party rocker. I started writing songs when I was 12. Ofcourse, inspired by heart breaks, crushes... things I could not express to people. Been playing piano and guitar for more than 10 years. Classically trained on piano but obsessed over guitars. I was recording since 14 and I started producing at 18.. Then I recently experimented with turntables in 2004. I started off playing deep house for an underground station in Toronto and eventually pursued my fascination for scratching.
Love the turntables as an instrument. I use it to recreate percussive patterns from samples on records - a big element that I lacked through the other melodic instruments I only had. I'm not a hip hop DJ by any means. I seldomly play epic/upliftin Trance and Tech Funky House.
Also love people. All personalities intrigue me, some more than others. I enjoy studying our nature and the whys of our behavior. Highly big on aesthetics. Modern interior design, clean lines, sleek/minimal kinda stuff. Color collaborations and texture. All arts in different forms.

Who I'd Like to Meet:
Beautiful minds. People who eat and poop their passions. Musicians, artists, entrepreneurs. The driven, inquisitives, successful, soulful, lovers, fighters, do-ers and losers.
