Born and raised in the vibrant streets of Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood.

A passionate DJ, producer, and sound innovator with deep roots in the South Side’s rich cultural tapestry. In 2012, I embarked on my creative journey with FL Studio, where I honed my production skills, crafting sounds that reflect the soul of my city. By 2014, I expanded my artistry to DJing, diving headfirst into the art of moving crowds and curating unforgettable musical experiences.

My music is a tribute to the sounds that shaped me—fusing the timeless groove of Chicago house with fresh, innovative influences. As I continue to push boundaries, my mission is clear: to unite people through music and elevate the culture that gave me my voice.

Welcome to my world, my sound. Watch me as I play with time, as time plays with you.
