Music has been an integral part of my life since I was very young. I’ve been influenced by various genres, including Reggae, Punta, Soul, Funk, Hip-Hop, and R&B. As the youngest of my siblings, I spent a lot of time alone, listening to music and watching music videos.

Hip-Hop was the genre that truly captivated me. I would often freestyle with my friends in the bathroom of Houston Gardens Elementary. It was easy to get a freestyle session going because all we needed was someone to beat on a table or beat box.

I vividly remember attending gatherings at the Baudillio, where Garifunas in Houston would convene in the Fifth Ward. The DJ would take the crowd on a musical tour through the Caribbean, seamlessly blending Reggae, Punta, Salsa, and Meringue. It was such a beautiful experience that it inspired me to one day control the crowd in a similar manner. I experimented with DJing here and there, but I never took it as seriously as I should have to reach the next level.

Fast forward to 2010, and the itch to get back into the DJ game returned. I began researching the possibilities and quickly purchased two turntables and a mixer. I started doing small gigs around Houston. One day, I ran into DJ Larose at Mainstage and asked him, “How do I become a League DJ?” I also met and befriended fellow League DJs DJ 2Alarm and DJ Toothbrush, and we formed a strong bond.

In October 2012, I officially became a League DJ. I am thrilled to be connected with such an excellent group of DJs who can help me grow as an artist. The future has no boundaries for what the League DJs can accomplish. Seremein!
