Biography
From an early age I have always connected and expressed creativity through music. I was constantly around family members who are musicians or simply playing records on the family turntable as soon as I could walk. I studied piano for 6 years as a child, and quickly graduated to familiarizing myself with different genres. At the age of 15 I was first exposed to Electronic Music. Soon after I purchased my own turntables and mixer and began honing my skills. I studied scratching techniques under DMC contest DJ's and learned the art of mixing first hand from world famous Electronic DJ's. After graduating high school I enrolled in a sound engineering and recorded music production program. It was there that I combined my background in music theory with my years of DJing and mixing. Upon completion of my diploma I wrote, recorded, and produced my own music. The records were released world wide working along side local and international artists. I currently hold a weekly DJ residency at one Vancouver's largest dance clubs, and travel abroad regularly to DJ and produce music.
