The love child of a com­poser and radio head, Sleeper was raised by instru­ments and gyp­sies.Grow­ing up in Wash­ing­ton DC, he lis­tened to mom on the radio by day and fell asleep to dad giv­ing vio­lin lessons by night.

He fell in love with a turntable at Indiana University and plunged into radio and the DJ bat­tle cir­cuit.Sleeper started shows on local and col­lege air­waves then bat­tled his way up to one of the Top 8 DJs on the planet in the 2006 World Series Turntable Championship.

Now based in Los Ange­les, his music has been fea­tured on ESPN, MTV, URB, The Miami Her­ald, and Scratch mag­a­zine.Stretch­ing across gen­res, gen­er­a­tions and styles, his abil­ity to remix live while incor­po­rat­ing turntab­lism into his blends cre­ates a sound that is dis­tinctly his own.Sleeper’s Michael Jack­son remix stayed at #1 on both Hype Machine charts for more than a month and made it to Zeitgest’s Best Songs of 2009.

His music has brought him all over North Amer­ica, South Amer­ica, Asia, Europe and Jamaica.He’s rocked with scores of head­lin­ers like Ludacris, Com­mon, Mix Mas­ter Mike, Wyclef Jean and BT. He’s cre­ated mixes for Spit­Kicker—home to lumi­nar­ies such as Kanye West, Talib Kweli and Dave Chap­pelle, and Hip Hop Con­gress — one of the largest non­profit hip hop orga­ni­za­tions in the world.
