About Me

I got into music first when I was in 4th grade playing the Alto Sax, and I played the sax all the way through high school. I started producing and writing when I was about 18-years-old. I’ve been doing it ever since. Since then, I have also found myself getting into recording, engineering, mixing, DJing, and composing. I took several music tech classes at UNO where I not only learned A LOT about Pro Tools and basic recording and synthesis, but I also worked in their new recording studio, Studio 153, for about 2 years. I also graduated from UNO with a bachelor’s degree in PR/Advertising. I DJ for Max Fischer when he does shows in Omaha, Breathless whenever she does shows, and I DJ at house parties and clubs. If you need a DJ for a show, club or a party, hit me up!!! I have recently recorded and mixed 1 LP for Breathless, 1 LP for Max Fischer, 1 mixtape for Breathless, and I just got done with my own mixtape.

If you want to control your life, you must control yourself. Before you can control your fate, you must control your life.
