Wacky has always had the bias for dance music every since he can remember. In the late 90s and early 2000s, he got into the clubbing scene in Davao City and further dove into the club culture. 

Wacky started out as a radio DJ for Davao City's 105.9 MixFM back in 2008. In 2011, he decided it was time to stand behind the decks and play house music. 

He was coached by and learned from two of Davao's top DJs - DJ Torch Gacuma and DJ Gary Tomas. After only about a month of training, he was asked by one of the top universities in Davao City to spin for their graduation party. This got the ball rolling for him. In the months that followed, he sharpened his skills at one of the clubs in the city. He is currently one of the Talents/DJs under Manic Nightnings Productions and the resident DJ for Club Echelon (Davao City).

He has opened for or played alongside some of the top Philippine DJs - Ace Ramos, Mark Nicosia, Katsy Lee, Funk Avy, Nina Saputil, Marlon Tagalicud, Cocoy Puyat, to name a few. And he has also played for events in and around Davao City and neighbouring cities. He plays house music including its sub-genres - electro house, progressive house, soulful house, tech house, deep house and trance.

There's nothing more euphoric for this hyperactive DJ than being behind the decks and everybody raving and raging with their hands up and letting the music take control. He is quite known for his spasmodic dancing behind the decks while playing the music. When you see him do his dancing, you know for sure that it can only get wackier.

"It's all about the music and the experience. Just close your eyes and ride the sonic wave," Wacky says.
