MY STORY

Built for the Dance Floor.

Over the past few years, I’ve gone from someone who simply loved music to someone who gets to share that passion with real crowds on a regular basis. What started as people telling me I had “good music taste” and should try DJing has grown into something I never expected. After a few early sets at my fraternity and around campus, word started spreading, and a college app helped more people discover my mixes. That led to a few smaller but meaningful opportunities — a club team event, a sorority formal — and those opened the door to bigger things.

Some of the staff at a local college venue saw me perform live and recommended me to management, which eventually led to me becoming the resident DJ there. Since then, I’ve played over 40 events, from high-energy college parties to formal productions like the WMU MODA Fashion Show, along with private events reaching 300–400 people.

My style focuses on clean transitions, real-time crowd reading, and mixing across multiple genres — house, EDM, throwbacks, hip-hop, and anything that keeps the energy up. I love creating mashups and edited transitions that give familiar songs a fresh boost of hype. More than anything, I try to shape the vibe of the room: knowing when to build momentum, when to switch directions, and how to make the night feel memorable.

I take every event seriously — from setup and equipment to playlists, lighting, and MC duties when needed. Whether it’s a formal, a bar night, a campus show, or a private party, my goal is simple: create a great atmosphere and make sure people have an amazing experience.
