I am an Orange County/LA based DJ, vocalist, songwriter and producer. My style ranges from deep vocal house to bass-heavy house depending on the crowd i'm playing for and vibe of the track i'm working on.

What do you do?

Originally I started as a vocalist, but over time after playing with several bands, I recognized my true potential and picked up a variety of instruments including drums, percussion, and acoustic guitar. My only issue was that i was always relying on other people to help me record, compose, and produce songs. This is when i decided to build my own studio and learn how to produce myself. I have since become a fully independent artist, teaching myself how to DJ to find a way to incorporate my roots with the modern electronic scene. I've recently been invited as a resident on MDA (Modern Disco Ambassadors), playing in and around OC from venues like La Cave and The Wayfarer with a collective of house artists. That being said, I recently broke out my bass-heavy side at La Cave while playing direct support for Insomniac favorite, Born Dirty. This gig ultimately led to getting called to open for a big night at The Belasco Theater for Bassrush, it was a pretty big deal.

What´s new right now?

A few months ago i released my first single with Theevs on my own label, where i presented my songwriting/vocal skills. The release of this track ultimately led to getting a separate track signed to a notable label, Nite Records. The song, "Holdin' Me Down", will be released on their winter compilation in early February with Micky Waltz.

How do you personally discover new music?

Typically when i find an artist i really like I do 3 things:
1. Check out all of the artists they've collaborated with
2. Dig into the labels they're associated with
3. Look through their personal soundcloud likes/reposts
These have been my top ways of finding new music.
