About Me

The Dragon grew up in the music business as his father has worked for a myriad of record companies over the years from ABC to EMI. His love for music developed into a desire to create in high school. He was originally the lead singer of a punk band The Geeks for about a year, singing such classics as "You're daddy's a sellout." In college at the age of 21 he moved into the electronica field by forming the band Children of the Mind. They were together only nine months, but did successfully release an EP which sold 100 copies. After the breakup of the band he decided to go solo as a dj and producer. The Dragon moved to the United Kingdom, to the city of Swansea in Wales. He spent his days teaching DJing at inner city schools and his nights studying under the tutelage of Andy Hunter, the official opening dj for Tiesto's 2003 North American Tour. Learning about DJing and producing from a master The Dragon played several shows with crowds of 300 before returning to the US. He also created his first commercial track "Don't Hide," which he nearly sold to a UK record label until visa issues forced a swift return to America. El Dragon spent 2 years in the USA where he finalized three tracks including "Drive me Crazy" with Chris Pino (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewpr ofile&friendid=127235809) on live guitar. He is now living and playing in Japan. Please check out his killer podcast!
