Don't Sleep!

About Me

I'm a single, 28 year-old DJ and a graduate student with the Berklee College of Music's Online Education program. I have a wonderful family and a very busy life. I co-own & operate Don't Sleep Worldwide Recordings and wear several hats in the dance music industry. I'm not allergic to anything, I have one cat, and I live alone. I drink red wine and smoke occasionally... I'm fascinated by the UK and Berlin underground movements. I love dance music. I love travelling and I love people.. And I REALLY love travelling to play dance music for other people... I live for the following stuff: playin' records, my Absurd family in L.A. & their legendary warehouse parties (keep an ear out for them...), riding my fixie, riding on planes, new business models, running my label, dancing in warehouses, dancing in bassments, dancing outside, eating good food, drinking good wine, record shopping, sneaker shopping, travelling with the Oliver & Jeff, and waiting for Mrs. Right... My interests include the following stuff: Cooking & Baking, Wine, Cycling, Music, Music Production, Marketing, Management, Entrepreneurship, Photography, Travel (not tourism), Pop-Culture, Sub-Culture, Acid-house, Fiction, Surrealism, and Feng Shui. I love my family very much and consider myself lucky to have their support. I'm currently setting up a UK/EU mini tour and I'm always down to meet new friends so drop a line yo!I also co-own and operate Don't Sleep Worldwide Recordings. Our releases are available on www.beatport.com and www.junodownload.com. Watch this space or drop us a line at: info [at] dontsleepworldwide.com for updates & label news.
