PLAYING VINYL RECORDS SINCE 1995. 
   STILL PLAYING VINYL RECORDS TODAY. 

    As a child growing up in the 80’s, I was raised around the sound of Funk, Soul, Disco, Rock & Hip Hop (through many Family Members) and was fascinated with their vinyl collections. I was always gravitating to my Fathers Turntable and Record collection. He himself, was a percussionist an avid listener of funk, soul and jazz... 

Brief History:

     I picked up playing Percussion and Piano at age 2.  Whether it was Cameo, Parliament, Sharon Redd, The Sugarhill Gang, Afrika Bambaattaa, The Furious 5, The Jackson 5, Slave, Sister Sledge, Zapp, Kano, Curtis Blow or the Gap Band… I couldn't resist playing percussion to funk, disco or soul  in my headphones. You accompany that with learning to breakdance and freestyle at early 90's hip hop parties and then... Turntables... Vinyl in general...

Playing House Parties, Raves in the 90's, Small & Large Clubs, Beach parties, Park Parties... What A High. The people, the music... the love... 

Inspired by the early work of Producers and Djs such as Grandmaster Flash, Grand Wizard Theodore, Jazzy Jay, Dj Jazzy Jeff, Z-Trip, Dj Dan, Dj Oscure, The Crystal Method, Uberzone,  Fatboy Slim, Sir Drew, Plump DJ'S, Freestylers, Krafty Kuts, Chicken Lips, Freddy Fresh... The list could go on for days...  

I continue to perform, make mixes and share some production to date. It's a beautiful world and music is here to nourish the soul. Thank you for your ear, feet & dedicated energy on the dance floor friends. Stay musically thirsty... 

 Don’t change the Music Let the Music Change you!
