I grew up listening to many different genres of music; from AC/DC to Zimmerman, there was no genre left untouched. By the time I was in High school I played Bass in the Orchestra, Tuba in the Marching Band, Bass in the Jazz Band and Guitar in a Cover band. I sacrificed a lot of my free time to be not only submerged, but drowned in the one thing that meant the most to me, music.

So what led me to be a DJ? It was the mixing skills of DJ AM. It was the Mashup skills of Girl Talk. It was the scratching skills of A-trak. Those DJ's inspired me to take a leap of faith and learn something new.

My favorite genres in no particular order include: Deep House, Big Room, Melbourne, Trap, and Hip Hop. If you were to ask me what style I play, I do not believe I could truly answer that. My skills that have earned me spots Salt(Dal), Plush(Dal), Empire(Houston), Prophet(Dal) and residencies at Lizard Lounge(Dal) and Top Golf(Dal) were not given because I stuck to one genre. Rather, because I love and appreciate all music, and mixing all those different types of music is my skill.
