About Me


Welcome to my space! What do I love most? Being a DJ. There's nothing I love more than burning up a dance floor! A great DJ set is like great sex- a long lasting build up and release of energy that never ends until you're covered in sweat and your legs are cramped. "Live like there's no tomorrow, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like no one's watching!"
WHERE DO I CURRENTLY PLAY?
I'm a resident DJ at Casa Casuarina (aka Versace Mansion) and do several other events in Miami.
HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN SPINNING?
7 years
WHAT STYLE DO I PLAY?
The first 4 years I played all breakbeats and funky hiphop beats for breakdancers. Although I've been a huge fan of electronic music and heavy in the underground dance scene for a long time I didn't actually start playing house until I moved to Miami in 2005. This year I've been doing more private celebrity events where its usually open-format (mashups, hiphop, 80's, Miami bass, electro, etc).
HOW DID I FIRST GET INTO THE ART OF BEING A DJ?
Ever since I was 6 I knew I had a passion for music above all other things when I began playing piano by ear. I also played the French Horn, clarinet, guitar, and trumpet. At a very young age, I became a massive party promoter for underground dance music where I found my next musical obsession- turntables. I completely fell in love, bought some used equipment, and started spinning. My first influences were DJ Craze, MixmasterMike, Rhazel, and DJ Icey, and I loved breakdancing so I started playing music that catered to the breakdancers. Once I moved to Miami I experimented with other styles- mostly house and open format.
WHAT'S NEXT?
Taking over the world.

My Interests



Recording studios, atmospheric night clubs, instruments, production software (yeah, I'm a computer geek). I also enjoy many other things like karaoke, rollerblading at the beach, sports, drawing, writing, making music, fashion, shooting pool, nature, movies, meeting people, reading, dancing, video games, water skiing, making money, learning (anything), traveling, being adventurous and of course GOING ON MYSPACE! Lol

I'd like to meet:

1.) All the pioneers of music technology to kiss them on the lips, 2.) George Bush so I could politely flick him on the forehead, 3.) God so I can ask what kind of acid he was on when he dreamed this whole thing up, 4.) Carlos Mencia so we can eat beans and crackers together, 5.) All the terrorists in the world so I could stuff a bunch of e down their throat and make them watch The Yellow Submarine together, 6.) The kind of inspiring ordinary people you never even think of mentioning in your "who i'd like to meet" but that leave their mark on you forever.

Music:

I have a broad musical background and appetite for sounds. I'll listen to different genres depending on my mood but I prefer mostly electronic music. I love house music, remixes, soulful vocals, live instrumentation, percussion, tweeked out sounds, sexy grooves, nasty dirty bass lines, funky beats, etc. Much love and respect to Armand Van Helden, Roger Sanchez, Miguel Miggs, George Acosta, Mark Farina, Bob Sinclair, Soulfuric, Defected, Naked Music, John Digweed, Rabbit in the Moon, Icey, Rap, Paul Oakenfold, Tiesto, Benny Benassi, Robbie Rivera, Felix Da House Cat, Daft Punk, Deep Dish / Yoshitoshi, Hoxton Whores, Carl Cox, and the list would go on for days. Its all about the good vibes! ..

Movies:

"The Matrix" is my favorite. :)Other than that, I love comedy, drama, and anything that I could describe as clever or enlightening. No horror flicks for me. I've enjoyed B movies too, they can be really creative and interesting. No comment about porn. :P..

Television:

.. I hardly ever watch tv but I love comedy (like Carlos Mencia), A3TV, The "L" Word, American Idol, Sex and the City, Seinfeld, Emeril, the Simpsons, Nip Tuck, Entourage, Desperate House Wives, and the music channels when they actually have music videos and not reality tv... :P

Books:

I just the kind of dork you'd find at home alone, curled up with a good product manual like for Reason, Project5, Protools... ..
