Originally from Orange county, California. But have been fortunate enough to have been able to plant myself in newmerous geo-spots.....like Santa Barbara and Chico, Ca.....New Orleans and Tacoma, Wa. Years ago around '97, I started going to underground parties(raves) and watching djs spin. I thought it was amazing how djs were manipulating tracks. Eventually got my own tables to spin on and i've never stopped since.
Music and Sound have been a hobbie of mine up until i decided to go to school for music and production a year and a half ago. Been djing now for almost 6 1/2 years recreationally. I also have a 2 year backround in running sound for concerts and events ....so i know what it takes to provide good sound. I work for a production company called SELECT MULTIMEDIA.......we do live production, recording, stage set-up, Video, pre/ post-production, and equipment rentals. If you'd like to contact us for further info..... go to www.selectmultimedia.com!!!!
