I began spinning vinyl in the summer of 85’.By the next year a friend and myself would bring the equipment outdoors to play for block partys,house jams,school dances,etc.

As the years past i constantly practiced,Honing my skills and discovering various styles of music along the way.By the early to mid 90’s i started to play in clubs such as NELL’S,CLUB USA and various others.

After a few years of that and dealing with shady promoters i turned away from clubs and directed my attention to the emerging lounge scene.The downtown lounge/bar era had come back into full swing and i was right in the middle of it.

I’ve played in just about every bar/lounge in the downtown manhattan area,Many of which had come and gone and some to later become iconic main-stays.

In the past 20 years i’ve travelled the world playing for more event based functions.But you can still find me very active in the dj circuit around NY today.
