About Me



First and foremost, I am the frontman for the LA based band Hypnogaja. I am also the band's DJ and one of its producers. This page represents all of those aspects. This is not about me going solo or no shit like that. It's merely meant to reflect what I do when I'm not on stage or in the studio with the band. That's not to say that Hypnogaja won't be making appearances on my page (my life kinda revolves around the band)... but, I do actually enjoy shutting the fuck up for a minute and DJ-ing or pounding out beats as a producer. Now don't go getting confused with all my genre hopping. I can't help it. I love (probably) every form of music. If it's good, it's good. When I spin, it's everything from hip hop to electronica to dancehall reggae to well... basically, if I like it and can incorporate it into a mix (hell, even if I can't), I spin it. Everything turntable. Although lately, CD's have been added to the mix. I've been really into mashups and most of them are only available for download online. So I was forced into getting some CDJ's and I have to admit, I kinda love them. Long live vinyl, but the world keeps turnin. On the production front, I create a lot of music for film and TV. Mainly TV, but there's a couple of films here and there. I love making music in any capacity. Whether it's putting together a DJ mix, writing/producing tracks in the studio or being in a band, I love it all.
I recently wrote and recorded vocals on two of the songs from the soundtrack to the Capcom video game, The Devil May Cry 4! The trailer below features one of my tracks (the end title, "Shall Never Surrender"). Check it out!
