Music was my first passion. Growing up on 90’s hip hop, I’d listen to Hot 97 radio and make mixtapes for my friends with tracks by Nas, The Notorious B.I.G., A Tribe Called Quest, Snoop Dogg and others. Shortly after moving to NYC for college, I quickly found myself engulfed in club culture and started DJing, eventually playing at legendary clubs like Bungalow 8, Gold Bar, Lotus, PM, Suede, Hudson Terrace and more.
Little did I know that this love for sharing music would take me around the world. Today I own and operate my own DJ and creative consultancy businesses. Technology allows me to tell my stories in beautiful and inventive ways, which is a crucial part of what I do.
I use a variety of tools to help me create content. For shooting video & photo, I use an iPhone, Canon EOS R5 Mark IIand Fuji X100VImirrorless cameras, a GoPro Hero 7action camera, an Insta 360 camera, and sometimes a DJI Mavic Pro 2for some epic b-roll. For clean audio, you gotta have the Rode Wireless Pro. I also find myself using various 35mm film and point-and-shoot digital cameras for fun nostalgia vibes.
