Born and raised in Lakeland, FL, I always had a love for music so, electronic music was nearly impossible to avoid. Bass, Breaks and Trance had me hooked from the start. But, like many others, my family and career ended up taking top priority. I had to sell my equipment and take a “hiatus” to raise my daughter and focus on life. So, in early 2024... 19 years later… That love for the music was reignited thanks to some incredible DJs, producers, long lost family and a healthy push from the universe… I started all over again.

DJ 33 years mixing everything from BREAKZ,to DANCE in between.  It’s🎶 it’s spun in my world...

Former New Orleans and Baton Rouge "late night" club DJ for 30 years. I'm retired now from the club scene, but I still enjoy collecting good music and putting out a mix once or twice a year. Musically, these days, I get together with a few of my dj friends once in a while and spin one night on a weekend at home. We also throw one or two big parties throughout the year as well, usually for Halloween and maybe once in the summer. I've been really blessed to have had the experiences I've had and became friends with many awesome people over the years. I thank God for it and wouldn't be here without Him. I give Him the praise and the credit for the tremendous favor.

I gravitated towards the scene in '94, Tampa FL. I eventually started spinning, but at a certain point life took over and the music became a distant memory for me that would often resurface in my mind. After a ~15-year hiatus I began spinning again. 

My goal is to bring breaks to as many people as possible. You can catch me live on Twitch at https://twitch.tv/phoenixrisingmusik

I hope you enjoy the compilations, as well as any original tracks I put out. Thanks for supporting me, and for checking out PhoenixRisingMusik!
