Sets I love,
Tracks I like,
From me to you,
and everyone alike.

<3

An avid music lover all my life, I began to start collecting tracks for play and pleasure in about 2006. Influenced by everything from bootyshaking sets to deep dark melodic scratch your brain journeys from SF/OAK and other West Coast DJs and a handful of venues I would go to, I decided it was time to start crafting some of my own sets that make people FEEL.

It's the music’s ability to break down barriers, social and otherwise, that continues to drive me to try new things. Wanting to help do this very thing led me on a search for my own equipment. Scoring a basic mixing setup from a local pawn shop, I've been collecting as much music to play with as I can. It's time for me to contribute to breaking barriers and walls that other DJs had, even unknowingly, helped me to overcome. So let go, enjoy the ride and relax with me :)
