Born and raised in Queens New York music has always been part of my life. My first love was with rock and roll. It was tough growing up in a Pakistani household because my parents would always look down at my love for music. Taught myself how to play guitar, even looked into how to start my own record label company. I was determined to have a career in music. It wasn't until I graduated high school is when I got interested in Djing. But was more into hip hop, reggae, reggaeton etc. I even wanted to start off in gay clubs. But in 2012 a friend convinced me and my gf to come to an underground club. As soon as I stepped in and felt the bass all over my body and touched my soul I was like WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE! 

Ever since then been doing my research in the house and techno scene. For a year I was following my friend Ababacar to all his gigs, watch how he plays, watched his transition and basically getting schooled by him. A year after that I started in art galleries then eventually made my monthly gig at Chat 19. But I'm hungry for more!! Want to get into producing eventually and hopefully make my mark in this crazy scene.
