I got my start as a DJ in a tree house. Literally.

ZANZIBAR, THE ACTUAL TREEHOUSE BAR WHERE I FIRST STARTED PLAYING

Living in El Salvador in 2010, my friends and I were not impressed with the music that we heard at local bars and clubs. Often we’d find ourselves back at our apartments where I’d be the one putting on the tunes. From the apartment to the bars around San Salvador – I found my sound.

The opportunity to live abroad for seven years was a blessing

Living abroad gave me the chance to hear all sorts of music. I have seen hundreds of DJs and still see shows when I can. Toronto’s vibrant music scene has been a particularly large influence on me.

I have a blast playing at weddings, private parties, and corporate events

I also enjoy performing locally at patios and bars around the metro Detroit area and also volunteer as a DJ on 100.7, Ferndale Radio. It’d be my pleasure to get you and your guests grooving at your next event; if interested, let’s connect.

A good DJ plays music you want to hear; a great DJ plays music you didn't know you wanted to hear.
