Best thing about being a DJ is… sharing my music with people of vastly varying backgrounds. I consider myself a producer first and a DJ second; there are few feelings that rival watching a crowd groove to your own material. I’ve lived on 5 continents and I continue to marvel at the unifying power of dance music. From Seoul to Harare, I’ve found that if you play it, bright-eyed escapists will come.

Best thing about being a DJ is… being able to share my love for music, deliver new tracks and old, seamlessly blend music live, and deliver an experience that cannot be replicated by anyone else. Building the energy of the crowd to the climax of the night when you drop a massive track on the crowd and everyone screams or puts their hands in the air. Knowing at the end of the night when you finish, everyone leaving had a great night and they come up to the booth to thank you, it humbles me every single time. Constantly learning, improving, and interacting with the audience inside and outside of the club.

Favorite DJ in DC other than yourself: DJ Phlipz
Favorite DJ worldwide: Axwell, Thomas Gold
Best thing about being a DJ is… the people. Introducing them to new music and actually liking it! The energy. Everything! The moment when you’re mixing in a track and you can see people’s facial expressions like oh shit, that’s my song that’s about to come in and we share that moment where our hands are in the air. Then as that drop hits, we both start jumping and raging. That connection is truly amazing.
