GET FUNK'D!

About Me

www.clubflye.com, www.djflye.com, Velvet Ultra Loungs (Nashville, TN), Ultimo Productions (Nashville, TN) and side drummer (snare) w/ the Nashville Pipes and Drums. I'm a commercial insurance adjuster of 6 years by day, dj and music by night, some sleep in between. I grew up in Cleveland, TN my whole life then moved to Cookeville, TN to attend Tennessee Tech Univ., graduated in '98. I could write a book on my college days, but you wouldn't believe the stories if I told you. I lived in Minneapolis, MN post college for a short time and also Atlanta, GA for a few years. I moved back to my home state of TN about 7 years ago, now residing in Music City, USA, Nashville. I love to laugh and especially making other people laugh. I'm an outdoot fanatic, especially camping and whitewater rafting and kayaking. I worked on the Ocoee River as a guide for 8 years during high school and college. I put olives in my beer, I like to endulge whisky, and things get crazy with Sake. I have 20+ years of combined percussion and piano studies. Music is what I breathe! But I also need a paycheck for now. "I'm not a teacher but an awakener." -Robert Frost
