“I started djing in 1998 right after moving to California, I taught myself and within the first 6 months I was playing house parties and then quickly started getting paid to play out. Over the next 10 years I had residencies at the most well known clubs in Orange County - Raw, Live, Diesel, Rubber, Rise, Brussels Bistro, Club Vegas, Chicago Joe’s, and more. I was also throwing my own weekly events that did very well called “Daily Dose” and “Afterburner”.
I began to travel around the world playing at larger events. One of my favorite gigs was a headlining spot at Club Kohiba in Guatemala, It was an epic party! My all time favorite gig was when I opened for Mark Farina!
I started spinning vinyl records, transitioned to CDs and then moved on to digital but vinyl is still my favorite platform of choice. I have a collection of over 3,000+ records covering my wall at home and love the way it feels to play records and the skill it takes.
I have been a musician since I was very young and music has had been such a big part of my life - playing the guitar, drums, bass, ukulele, and the cello.
My early heroes are Mark Farina, Doc Martin, Steve Lawler, Sander Kleinenberg, Deep Dish, and Lee Burridge.
This year will be my 26th year behind the decks. I love sharing music and creating a dope vibe for everyone to enjoy!”
