I've always been very open to and influenced by all types of different music. I have a deep appreciation for music that was instilled at a very young age- my dad told me that at age 3 I would crank up the stereo get on the bed and jump up and down feverishly- i've always been so moved by it. I've been playing guitar for over 10 years and have been a club dj for the last 3 years.
