About Me
Born in Hawaii, grew up between Hawaii and Chicago, and recently relocated to Las Vegas. I started DJing in the mid-80's; influenced by the birth of House Music and DJ culture in Chicago as well as East Coast Hip Hop turntablist/DJ godfathers.
My first club residencies were in Waikiki, Hawaii right out of high school in the late 80’s and my mixes were featured weekly on local radio. I was actually one of the first DJ’s to play House music in Hawaii clubs. I moved back to Chicago in the mid 90's and competed & placed top 10 in a regional DMC battle, did live guest mixes on college radio (WNUR & WUIC), internet radio residency (Bassdrive.com), resident with Sit N Spin Productions Chicago, played a number of local & national raves, underground parties, & club events alongside notably talented artists such as Bad Boy Bill, Derrick Carter, LTJ Bukem & MC Conrad, and the Invisibl Skratch Piklz to name a few. Though my first love is and has always been House music, I also love Reggae & Jazz music- those influences are what drew me to Jungle/Drum & Bass and I built my reputation in Chicago’s Drum & Bass scene.
After taking a few years off, I’m here in Las Vegas focusing particularly on House music in the Chicago, Deep, Funky, Jazzy, Soulful vein and Tech-House/Techno. I’ve played at smaller bars & venues, private parties, and one-off’s here in town. Currently I’m collaborating with local DJ’s, revisiting older projects, working on original music, and remixes/re-edits
