I got my hands on a set of
used turntables and some hip hop records. I learned the art
of beat matching and scratching very early. I started DJing
my high school dances, house parties, recreation events,
fairs, birthday parties, and any other smaller venue I could
squeeze myself into. I moved to Santa Barbara with my
father, and this is where my career started to take flight.
I was producing one hour mixes on Mini Disk players, burning
them to CDs, and selling them at school. At the time, vinyl
was the preferred medium. I got my first job in sales, and
stood outside grocery stores selling newspapers and slanging
CDs. All the money I made went to purchasing new records.
After a couple years of telemarketing, side jobs, and
dedication, I had a completely professional and mobile
system with two big bags of vinyl. By this time, I had sold
my first set of turntables, obtained a new pair, sold those,
bought rack mount CD players, sold those, then landed with a
set of Stanton turntables. Santa Barbara did not have a
thriving club scene, nor was I old enough to indulge even if
there was. Most of my gigs were college dance parties, fund
raisers, quinceaneras, house parties, beach parties. After a
couple years of amateur shows, I landed my first resident
gig at a Kava lounge. I played there for a few hours every
Friday and Saturday. I occasionally would spin along side
bands to create a really cool down tempo but funky vibe.
I graduated from High school
and went to the Art Institute of Los Angeles. I spent most
of my time with art or music. I ending up spending more time
on my music than on my art. I aced all of my classes, but I
never completely finished an assigned piece of art. I
realized that music is where my head was, and that even
though I am a great artist, my heart lies with music. I left
school, and after a series of unfortunate events, became
homeless. I spent a year on the streets living in a shack
next to the railroad tracks. A crew of us found this shack,
and built bunks around the inside. There were about nine of
us in there. I had my DJ equipment with me, and I would find
extension chords, link them together, and steal electricity
from neighboring building just to get a fix. Desperation
forced me to sell everything but my records. I caught a
break when a friend of mine offered to me a motor home in
his back yard. I was able to live there in exchange that I
look for work, and help him build a recording studio. This
is where I was able to turn my life around.
I met up with an old boss
accidentally in a restaurant, he offered me a position as a
telemarketer. I took the position and went back to sales.
After a few months, I had a new home and all of the gear I
had sold back. I took this opportunity as a chance to grow
as a DJ, and launch my DJ career. After a few more location
changes, and and amazing job as a Technology Concierge, I
landed my self a home with a studio built for kings. I
recorded hundreds of albums, started producing music, and
got my foot into the underground electronic scene.
I started DJing every weekend at
underground warehouses, desert parties, loft parties, rooftop
shows, art fundraisers, and built a very respected reputation as
a House and Breaks DJ. None of these shows were paying gigs, and
so I had to start focusing on my job once the recession got
really bad. I lost my job due to the recession, and I moved to a
far less expensive desert location. Palm Springs! Here is where
my major break came through. I was able to make money, doing
less work, and live comfortable. This allowed me to make many
more albums, build multiple websites, focus on my producing, and
land gigs at every major club on the strip of Palm Springs. The
scene is different, so I made the essential adjustments and
adapted with the audience. At this time, I am experienced in
almost every genre, every type of medium, and claim myself as
being a well rounded and incredibly passionate DJ/Artist. Being
a break dancer my whole life, music and performance is my love,
and the stage is my canvas. "Music is Life, Life is Love, Love
is Music"
