Bio

I was born and raised around Chicago most of my life. I recently left my consulting job of 2 and half years to take a break from the corporate world, and to pursue my interests in music.

Music has been a big part of my life. I was exposed to music at an early age, growing up to funk/jazz/disco albums during my childhood, listening to 90's chicago house and underground hip-hop on the radio throughout jr. high, playing the alto/tenor/baritone saxophones in the school band, and pursuing DJing and music production on the side since high school.

I love going to the record store and spending hours digging for rare classics on vinyl; specifically funk, jazz, soul, disco, world music, 70's rock, underground house and hip-hop.

Besides music, I enjoy indie flicks, documentaries, outdoor festivals, eating at new restaurants, exploring different neighborhoods, museums, art galleries, and anything else that broadens the mind.

Below are some of my mixes and productions. To download, right click on the link and select "Save Target As..."
