Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I have and continue to play live up and down the West Coast primarily. Based in Humboldt County, California, I'm centrally located between Vancouver and Los Angeles, Two of my favorite Hotspots, along with San Francisco of Course.
Your musical influences
Growing up I was exposed to an extremely diverse amount of musical selection, from Rock, to punks, to Hip Hop, salsa, rap, classical, Jazz, Hardcore, you name it. When I got into Djing, Hip-hop and House were my two simultaneous loves. So its no surprise why most of what I play has either a funk or jazz feel, even if it is extremely techy or glitched out. I have always been a musician, ever since I was kicking in the womb, and I remember loving all forms of music.
I always tell people that there are quality songs in every genre, the key term here is quality. The problem is the definition of quality differs from person to person.
But I believe you can hear, feel it, or see it, when its there; Quality has heart and soul somewhere deep down that will show through.
So basically, I love it all, and my influences are extremely diverse, this allows my music to never become stale and to constantly surprise and innovate.
What equipment do you use?

Anything else?
One love.
