About Me

Decided to put a little bio about myself... Woo!! Let the ego fly!
I am an active DJ that spins regularly. I got my start in New England spending two years on college radio before moving over to the Club side. I have spun at Haven in Northampton MA, and Plague in Portland ME before relocating to Seattle. I spin at Prototype at the Mercury every month and I spin regulary, about once a month, at Dementia at Mt. Tabor (Previously at Noir) in Portland OR and have done several special events such as Convergence 13 and Pirates for Puppies II charity event. I have had the honor of DJing for several bands live shows and after parties including VNV Nation, Assemblage 23, Skinny Puppy, The Cruxshadows, The Last Dance, Babyland, Ayria, Ego Likeness, Son of Rust, James D Stark, Tau Factor and Idiot Stare...
