Having been born in Los Angeles and lived in Chicago, Detroit, South Carolina, West Virginia and now Florida, I have a diversified background in life experience. I have worked in nightclubs since 1998 DJing and promoting, with very successful residencies and crowds on a regular basis of over 1000. This included sound and light installations for several clubs as well. I also earned my BS and MA in biology and went on to teach biology at the college level and work in the biotech industry. I also used to run a chain of bicycle shops in the southeast US and raced in about 150 bicycle races.

My mother helped shape my musical appreciation by surrounding us kids with music from an early age. She and her sisters were a musical trio named The Bloomfield Sisters signed to Nero Records (a division of Mercury Records in 1961). After her music career, she would participate in church choirs and plays, etc. which we would attend and always have music playing in the house. I learned to play the trumpet in 6th grade and was 1st chair for 4 years. I then sold my trumpet to buy a microphone to sing in a hard-rock band in High School. During this period, I immersed myself in all types of music and came to appreciate musical talent. I then began DJing in nightclubs and also was promoting events as well as started to produce my own tracks. After 10 years of this, I decided the next logical step would be to start my own record label with both rock and club acts, LBA Records (with sister labels Bent Ant Records and Wagmore Records) and Nessel Music publishing (BMI).
