About Me

..This profile was edited with MySpace Profile Editorvaaw3rLtlzXVKRHxr8N8aFBBio: With a history of church and school choirs, musical theater, playing piano, guitar, and creating beats on her drum, it came as no surprise that dj’ing came next in line for Ami. Inspired by her first club in 1993 and many wild adventures on the road seeing live bands, she knew that music would be her outlet for self expression.In 1995, Ami started collecting records and playing them on her friend’s turntables. About a year later, her collection had grown and she purchased her first pair of turntables and got to work. Using the moniker Spirit, she began to play for local clubs and became a frequent guest at Riders of the Plastic Groove, a local and internet radio broadcast which continues to broadcast every Friday night. She has been featured on other internet radio shows, clubs and events in, and around Orange County and Los Angeles; including the Vans Warped Tour where she had the opportunity to play in San Bernardino, San Diego and Oakland, CA. She has also graced the decks in other major cities such as Portland, OR, Rochester and Ithaca, NY. In June of 2000, Ami founded Our House Melodies to start her own event production; running such events as Greenhouse/LA and Our House, "Orange County’s most intimate house night." -Andrew Asch (OC Register). She also has the honor as the first female guest on “This Thing of Ours,” an internet radio broadcast hosted by digibag.com, a great site that is all about the music!! (check it out)Ami has become one of Orange County’s most respected talents, but always stays true to her approachable nature. With music production in the making, including some of her own vocals, she is a DJ/Producer to look out for in the future.Check out my dj mixes here .

Good Grief

So I can't seem to get myself to sleep tonight. I just came in from sitting outside on my friend's patio feeling the cold mist hit my exposed skin and listening to the sounds of the waves hit the sand...
