I started Djing in the Pittsburgh party scene back in '98. Later I moved to Puerto Rico, and was the scratch dj for the group, Slimy Nuggetz. While in Puerto Rico, I performed on several television shows, including "Tarde en la Noche con Luis Gonzales", "Frente Sonico", and the "Sprite Spring Break TV Tour". Over the years, I've played shows in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Virginia, Puerto Rico, and London, UK. Also I've had my songs played on the Mixdown radio show in Nashville, TN, and played on Drum n Bass TV's radio show on the worldwide web(www.dnbtv.com).
Favorite Show:
Playing with the Crystal Method (and Dylan & Robyn Chaos) at the Tito Puente Amphitheater in San Juan, Puerto Rico. (Tweekend Tour)
I had alot of obstacles in my personal life that took me away from making music for several years, but now that I've got things under control I'm back at it. I started spinning records again about 3 years ago, but now I'm also getting into making my own tracks. For now, I use: Ableton Live 7+ some fun VST's, Oxygen 8 Midi Controller, KORG Electribe ES-1 Sampler/Drum Machine, BOSS Digital 8-track, Shure Studio Condensor Mic, Preamp, Fender Stratocaster Guitar, 2 Technics 1200 MK II Turntables, Mixer, and a cheap electric bass. Hopefully soon I'll get Reason and/or cubase.
