About Me

Random notes about me, my background, interests, etc:

*I started DJing in 1996, and until 2000ish I played mostly house.
*During late high school and into the early 00s I DJd for a band (which changed names a few times - The Force, The in:Force, Ex-love Nation - broke up and split in two - I joined Shokkanah) then veered into percussion (hand percussion, congas, timbales)
*I've been fortunate enough to open shows for:
Belanova | Bone Thugs-n-Harmony | DJ Quik | E-40 | Enanitos Verdes | Fishbone | Frankie J | Hot Hot Heat | Maldita Vecindad | Maria Daniela y Su Sonido Lasser | Plastilina Mosh | The Mars Volta
*Cumbias are the shiet.

*Mix every morning on Q1047 "7-AM Get-Up Mix" (we stream online! PST) *It's The Cluuuubhouse (Morning Show!!!)
*Chiefrocka 2 - 1 is Fred Rock, 3 is Myron, 4 is Mega Man, 5 Ernie, 6 is Krayzie Kat
*Westcoast Bumsquad chapter member (see picture in album)

*I work for DJcity (digital music pool). DJ Khaled says "We The Best", maybe not about DJcity, but he says it. And we are.
*I have my BS in Electrical Engineering. Seriously.
<3 Most importantly, I'm engaged to the love of my life <3
