biography
People who've known me for a long time aren't the least bit suprised at where I've ended up. I'm the guy who had a stack of concert tickets a foot tall and never missed a show no matter what day of the week it was, or what time I had to get up in the morning. This love for music and the live medium itself led me to become immersed in the electronic music scene from the start.
After spending countless nights in the clubs of Seattle, Vancouver, and Portland amazed by this new sound, five years ago I picked up my first pair of turntables and went to work. Over the next year I honed my sound through numerous house parties with DJ Dawnstealer at our own "Fluid Nights" which led to my involvement with the local radio station KUPS 90.1FM.
From this opportunity I spent the next two years as host of "KUPS In The Mix" where I provided Seattle with a weekly dose of my unique style and sound, brought in the best local and global talent for guest mixes, and aired unprecedented non-stop marathon mixes of 6, 8, and 12 hour sets. From the show I was introduced to many people in the Seattle scene including Johnny Monsoon and Randall Glenn, who gave me my first break into the nightclub circuit. Spinning at clubs such as Contour, Watertown, and The Last Supper Club led to my involvement with Trinity, where fellow friend Jason LeMaitre and I become the first electronic residents at the biggest nightclub in Seattle mixing tagteam sets on a weekly basis.
During this phenomenal experience at Trinity, I began to realize that this was the only industry I would ever be happy in, and that the next step for me would not be an easy one. Since great rewards are never without great risks, I packed up everything I had and drove cross country to New York City to pursue my career on a global scale.
Now a part of the industry as more than a DJ, I work for Foambox Nightlife Marketing where I help fellow artists, record labels, promoters, and nightclubs with everything from event production to brand management. Needless to say, this level of involvement has already led me to play out in the city in such clubs as Society, The Union, T, Shelter, Sullivan Room, crobar, and Studio where I've opened for legendary DJs such as Hybrid, Marcus Schossow, Seb Fontaine, Ivano Bellini, M.I.K.E, BT, and Preach. This is where it all began, but far from where it ends.
