I started getting into house, electro, progressive, and other types of EDM because those genres are a lot of fun to spin, and attention to detail is very critical. I have grown to love the music and its culture. I have had a lot of help getting into the electronic music scene by going to clubs and raves around Saint Louis. I have also had a lot of help from various Saint Louis and Chicago based DJ's who recommend recording labels I should check out as well as allow me to watch them mix. I probably owe most of my progress to my mentors and friends, notably Alexis Tucci, Amin Mohabbet, Robitaille, Luan, Chad Little, Jim Honey, The Urban Lounge Crew, and plenty of others!!!
Whenever I get the chance, I try to learn more about different styles of music by asking friends about their tastes or by going to new clubs/bars/venues. Any time I DJ without a set 'specific genre' i try to somehow fuse the tastes of all the people in attendance. Of course you can't please everyone, but one can try......I call my ideal mixes a sort of "Aural Chemistry" in that it brings elements of genres together in the style of music I play in a given night.
I work as a promoter of course with B&W and have a great time working to promote touring DJ's. I am also a resident DJ for B&W shows, which is quite fun.
Some other additions to my promoting circuit have been Vibe and Fly. Both support a great range of local and national talent worthy of recognition.
SlantEd Sounds is a small promoting company I created to focus mainly on electronic events and occasional hip hop parties. I have a small promoting team, and we both throw and promote small underground events and large club events. All shows I have been involved with can be viewed in my 'flyers album'.
Besides DJing I like to also draw graffiti, pencil on paper. I don't know when I started this but it is an activity that gets me through any boring class.
I enjoy dancing, but i do not break on the floor too much. My style is a bit more jazzy in nature. I've taken modern dance classes and salsa classes, and this work has actually helped me feel music a lot better when I dj.
