Death Ray DJ, since the age of 13 has been heavily influenced by a multitude of genres. Involved with multiple metal/rock groups throughout Pennsylvania and even Maryland, countless hours were devoted to develop his drumming skills. He later found a love for electronic music and became involved with electro house and hardstyle especially while living in Germany, but was extremely discouraged by a large crowd not accepting these music styles because it was not the current norm for the U.S. society. Thanks to people like DJ Scotto, who is considered to be one of today's founding fathers of the serious breakthrough for EDM, Death Ray DJ is now producing electronic music of many different genres after helping DJ Scotto manage the Drum and Bass Stage at Ultrafest's Starscape 2010 and realizing the huge potential for electronic dance music in today's society.
