Representing Cleveland Drum & Bass Coalition / "WAKE UP AMERICA"

About Me

I love music of all kinds. I mostly listen to electronic and indie but I can appreciate all forms. Although I can only listen to about 3 minutes of Country music before I want to get sick. I am a DJ who spins Drum & Bass for the past 8 years and is still going strong !! I represent Cleveland Drum & Bass Coalition and we've had some big name DJ/producers come in to Cleveland to play this year with really good response !! Next year is going to be massive. I am really into snowboarding and am hoping to make a trip to Colorado this year. There is no better feeling than riding on some fresh powder :) I am very much an independent person thanks to my Dad who raised me to be responsible (for the most part :). I eat mostly organic food and drink. I've worked at the same insurance company for the past 12 years - wow that makes me depressed. I wish I was working in a field of music but I am working on getting there. I love animals. I have a couple cats of my own that just hang out. I love dogs. I really want to get a Boxer or German Shepherd of my own. My friend has a handsome dog named Gunther and he is the best. He's a German Shepherd and I'm almost considering getting one now. Hmmm....Boxer or German Shepherd. Either way it's gonna be great. Once I get a house - it's on !! I like to ride my mountain bike around the city. Quite spectacular to see all the elements of a city that you can't see from a car. Plus it's good exercise. Now if I can just quit smoking. Stupid disgusting habit. Wish I never started. Will quit again this year and stick to it. Just a matter of time. I don't watch much tv except for a few shows. I do love to watch movies though. So that's my life. I just realized it needs to be more fulfilling writing this.
