Global Vibe Radio 400 feat. Brenda (Live at Smartbar in August 2023 in support of Perc)

Originally from NYC, I’m a 37 year old married father of two beautiful girls, I’m now down in music city (coincidentally, I was a musician when I was younger but no longer these days). Nashville is a great city for people passionate about music, it’s been incredible to live here. I’m an annual Bonnaroo attendee, and other fun fests I’ve been to are Coachella, Lollapalooza, ACL, Bonnaroo, EDC, and will be attending Bourbon and Beyond this summer.

I have an extremely eclectic taste in music. My musical journey roughly is as follows:

Dave Matthews Band was my first concert with friends and no parents. From there I got into classic rock and dipped my toes in the jam band scene. I went full send on Phish when I got into them and they were my favorite for years. Through Phish and all of their covers, I got into pretty much everything haha. Indie was a big part of my of life during college and my time living solo in NYC, and now I’m a fan of electronic music primarily.

If I had to state my favorites these days, my top three would be Four Tet, Radiohead, and Frightened Rabbit. My kids already seem to love music, they must take after their father!

I'm originally from Chicago but reside in Indianapolis. Been going to parties since '98. I've been spinning and collecting vinyl as a hobby since 1999. I learned to beat match on a pair of good old Gemini belt drive tables and the rest is raver history. I only spin vinyl, no digital for me, just not my thing. I have terrible anxiety (stage fright) so I've only played out at a few events over the years. 
My black crack collection mostly consists of old skool Breaks (vocal/progressive/Miami), Electro, Liquid DnB, House, (old skool) Hard German Trance and "classic" trance, cause in "raver" years, I'm old...... Haha.

Peace, Love, Unity, Respect!
