Bio:

Instantly influenced by DJ’s such as Terminator X of Public Enemy, Eric B., Jazzy-Jay of Soul Sonic Force and Grandmaster DXT. Started doing house parties playing mostly top 40 and hip hop off of a Radio Shack mixer and a couple CD players. When I got to high school I started doing most of the dances. During that time I opened up to classic rock, punk, modern rock, trip hop and a small amount of electronic dance music (EDM).

After high school I went to college for a year and got kicked out, because I wanted to pursue a career in Stupid Behavior (use your imagination). I went back to doing house parties and occasional high school dances. When I finally got over myself I went back to school and picked up a part-time job DJ’n for a promotional event company. This allowed me to travel and DJ in cities like Milwaukee, Chicago, Indianapolis, Mesa, Albuquerque, Dallas, Houston, Galveston Island, South Padre Island, San Diego, Salt Lake City, …..Sioux Falls……seriously, and of course Minneapolis. At this time I was still spinning top 40 with a little bit of the popular dance music tracks. It wasn’t until 2000 that I switched my style as a DJ. I was so sick of getting a crowd off with music they knew (or are told to like by radio and Mtv) and figured it to be a truly challenging, but also a satisfying feeling, to get people off with music they’re not too familiar with.

I was easily influenced by DJ’s such as Richard Humpty Vission and Bad Boy Bill. Once I started to get a little more educated about the different styles and genres of EDM, I found myself being more involved with house music. I learned about the roots of house and learned about the pioneers like Ron Hardy and Farley Jackmaster Funk. I also learned what the first parties were like in the Southside of Chi and most importantly what makes the music tick. Fast-forward to now and I’m still spinning house music. Today my style has become a lot more refined and influences have gone from RHV and BBB to Mark Farina, DJ Heather, The Littlemen, Sound Republic, Johnny Fiasco, Miguel Migs, Matt Shrewd, Sonny Fodera, Derrick Carter, Da Sunlounge, Inland Knights, etc.
