About Me


Im a twenty something dj trying to quit my job to make music full time. I was born and grew up in oshvegas. My first Mix Tape was called "WHERE IM FROM". It dropped on Halloween 2003 and still gets played today. I recorded and did live shows with a band named STEEZ later the next year on their album "All systems bro". After that I did alot of promos to keep people intrested, and know im still around. Now a days i spend my time doing lots of live shows. I like cats more than dogs. I own around 11,000- 12,000 vinyl albums. Currently I dj for Derill Pounds. If you like soldja boy don't add me. If your a huge Tupac fan; don't add me. If you sing R&B i dont want to hear it(P.s Keep your shirt on. If your gonna sing; sing. I dont need dance entertainment to enjoy music. And the only one impressed with your dancing is 13 year old children.) If you like real music no matter if it's hip hop or jazz or hard rock or funk, and are sick of pop bullshit; We'll definately get along.

Sounds Like: What a hip hop DJ is supposed to sound like, mashed up with sick shit you don't here on the day to day. My live sets are all over the place, and always make your body rock. You might hear Oldies, you might hear Shock Metal mixed to hip hop. Nothing is off limits when im live. In the studio im pickey. Alot of my recent stuff has a slight hint of anger mixed with deeper beats. I make music for me. Hope you like it.
