Some old records I pulled out of the collection.

My journey into DJing began in 1995 with a set of Technics 1200s. While serving in the Navy in Orlando, I discovered my passion for electronic music.

Returning to Virginia, I immersed myself in the East Coast rave scene, becoming a staple in Hampton Roads with my unique blend of techno, house, and funky breakbeats. In 2003, my partner DJ Joanna O. and I founded Turnstyle in Downtown Richmond, a boutique that became a vital platform for the local music community.

My dedication extends to WRIR 97.3FM, where I host "Frequency" on Saturday nights. Over the years, I've taken on various roles at the station, helping to guide its engineering, direction, and impact.

As a founding venue of Richmond's First Fridays Artwalk, I've helped transform the city into a hub of artistic expression. Whether producing or DJing events—from intimate club nights to expansive raves—my commitment to enriching the electronic music scene continues.
