"I have never in my life made music for money or fame. Not even Thriller. No way. God walks out of the room when you’re thinking about money. " - Quincy Jones

Christian was born, raised, salted and peppered here in the San Francisco Bay Area. He was blessed with a musically inclined family, and learned young that music is always there to raise your spirits… Christian excelled in his musical studies during his school years, and grew a passion for song and dance. Dancing became a way of life for Christian. This is why he LOVES House music!

 “I have always loved up-tempo dance music, and when I first heard the textures and body in House I was totally blown away. It’s a dancer’s dream – you can incorporate all styles of dance into House: ballet, salsa, capoeira, jazz-tap, street, breakin’…  All the lines to ride are there – you just have to have the ear to hear those lines…”

His journey in dance led him to underground parties where he learned firsthand the raw energy that House contains. Intrigued by the culture, Christian realized that with his background, DJing would be a lot of fun.  So began his passion for DJing.

Along his journey, he has visited many different venues ranging from renegade break-ins to clubs. Every experience led him into meeting with a group of people from San Diego - specifically Ramon Valdez. It was like “add water” friendship from the start because of the common bond of House. He then introduced Christian to Brian Cabalic and the iLHM family and the rest is history.

Now representing iLHM, Soulcamp, and Movement Christian is doing his best to contribute to the scene and be relevant to our House culture.  

When it comes to dancing, Christian is in Love with djs and artists that produce or play Freedomsheit.

Freedomsheit is the term that Christian has coined for the music he absolutely Loves... It embodies all aspects and sub-genres that have focus in progression, improvisation, and raw soul textures within the House that Jack built… He believes that it is this sound that transforms the dance floor into a playground.

It is this sound that he pushes – whatever, whenever, and however.
