It took me awhile to figure out what to write here but finally decided to make this site a bit more personal instead of write in the 3rd person like most do. I started DJing when I was about 16-17 and have been in love with it since. Music has always been a huge staple in my life and I have many influences and people who inspire me. I try to let life inspire my mixes and let every mix reflect my personality or mood. Every song I put in my set has some sort of meaning behind it which I think helps seperate me from those who mix whatevers "hot" although I do like using the occassional big song I make sure that it's something I personally enjoy as well.
I've been given the oppurtunity to play on many online radio shows and events/raves throughout LA and play alongside alot of heroes locally and internationally. I am a huge fan of digital technology and love using cdj's when I play out live and Ableton for the mixes I create at home. I think a dj is only as good the tools he makes use of.
I'll include any type of music in my sets no matter what genre because I feel like limiting myself to only music thats 4/4 wouldnt be truly expressing or exploring all the styles of music I listen to on a constant basis. Listen to any of my mixes and you'll always hear a suprise and thats what I love when I can bring people who never listen to anything electronic but hear a coldplay or imogen heap song and feel comfortable in slowly easing into my mixes and finding themselves enjoying it.
More will be added soon im in the process of making everyone and myself more comfortable with this page I will have alooot of pictures added in this spot right here from me playing live and some new video as well. Im also focusing this year on productions hoping to really make a name for myself so keep an eye out their is alot to come.
