biography

People who've known me for a long time aren't the least bit surprised at where I've ended up. I'm the guy who had a stack of concert tickets a foot tall who spent most of his youth at the local rock venue. No matter what day of the week it was, or what time I had to get up in the morning, I was always out listening out the newest band in town. This love for music and the live medium itself led me to become immersed in the electronic music scene from the start.

After spending countless nights in the clubs of Seattle, Vancouver, and Portland amazed by this new electronic sound, six years ago I picked up my first pair of turntables and went to work. Over the first year I honed my technique through numerous house parties with DJ Dawnstealer at our very own "Fluid Nights," which eventually led to my involvement with the local radio station KUPS 90.1FM.

From this opportunity I spent the next two years as host of "KUPS In The Mix" where I provided Seattle with a weekly dose of my unique style and sound, brought in the best local and global talent for guest mixes, and aired unprecedented non-stop marathon mixes of 6, 8, and 12 hour sets. From the show I got my first break into the nightclub circuit, and soon after was spinning at clubs such as Contour, Watertown, and The Last Supper Club. Building on this momentum I was picked up by the biggest nightclub in Seattle - Trinity, where fellow DJ Jason LeMaitre and I become the first ever electronic residents mixing tagteam sets on a weekly basis.

During this phenomenal experience at Trinity, I began to realize that this was the only industry I would ever be happy in. Embracing this, I decided to pack up everything and drive cross country to New York City to pursue my career on a global scale.

Now a mainstay in the New York City scene, I've had the opportunity to play coast to coast alongside DJs such as Ferry Corsten, BT, Hybrid, Marcus Schossow, M.I.K.E., Preach, Seb Fontaine, and Ivano Bellini, in clubs such as Crobar, Sullivan Room, Society, The Union, T, Shelter, The Last Supper Club, Trinity, Porch, and Studio. Reaching beyond the club, my latest endeavor - the Push The Night podcast has been ranked #18 on iTunes and featured on the homepage as one of the most popular podcasts on the site.
