What drew you to the music industry?

I always loved music. I was influenced by music at a young age and used to put together mix-tapes on my boombox ,Im a 80’s baby. I started DJ-ing as soon as I got out the military and the story continues.
Who are you inspired by?
I am inspired by Tiesto, Kid Kapri, Calvin Harris, Red Alert, Steve Aoki. Its a mixture of EDM and Hip Hop DJ’s.
Please explain your creative process. What’s an average day like for you?
I like to start my day with a workout listening to music old and new. I also produce my own tracks so I try to work on my beats or produced work as well.
Is there a hidden meaning in any of your music?
Not at all. I love music and in return I like to give back by putting out or playing good music.
Do you collaborate with others? What is that process?
Yes, I do and have collaborated with other producers and artists. I like the collaborating process because it gives me a chance to not only work with other artists but also learn from those artists.
Please discuss how you interact with and respond to fans as a DJ.
I love fans. They are the reason I keep going. I keep in touch and will always show love.
What is your favorite part about this line of work? Your least favorite? Why?
Good Question. I love the creative process of being a DJ/Producer. There is no regiment and no right or wrong way to doing music. Its a matter of taste in my opinion. I dont have a least favorite, but I don’t like requests, because I want the crowd to enjoy themselves and one persons song is usually not the best choice for the event/party.
Have you ever dealt with performance anxiety?
I’m usually a little nervous before events but I also learn to breathe and destress my mind.
Tell me about your favorite performance venues.
I would love to perform at Tomorrowland, Governors Island, and club LIV. Those are just a few places I’ve been that I would love to perform at.
What advice would you have for someone wanting to follow in your footsteps?
Keep Pushing. Don’t give up and it may not happen when you want it to happen but with determination you can achieve your dreams.
I want to say thank you to everyone that has helped in the process and for this interview. Lets make it happen 2021!!!
