I was born June 9th, 1979 in Moab, Utah USA. Not long after, my family moved to Arizona where I've called home since. Growing up, I was musically influenced not only by people I met or came across, but also alot of different music on the radio which most nights I stayed awake to listen to, or fell asleep listening to. My mother Jody who loved to sing and was quite good at it, also had a musical influence on me. It was much later at the age 16 that I got in to the Electronic Dance Music scene and began to apply my passion for it in some creative form. That form was mixing records. I went out and found a couple of home stereo direct drive turntables at local thrift stores.
A friend, Matt Spangler (now DJ Matty of Londonwest Studios) joined me in learning how to mix records on these difficult yet adequate turntables. It wasn't long before Matt and I were DJing at local house parties and throwing our own small dance music events around town. I had alot of fun with this but also wondered how all this music was made, where did all of the sounds come from? I soon learned the answer to that after catching a live Electronic act in Phoenix, Arizona. I instantly wanted to make my own dance music and started doing so at the age of 17 when I bought a drum machine and attempted to mix beats I made, with records. Soon after, I bought my first workstation/synthesizer (Roland XP50) and that is when this really became fun and addictive as I delve into the depths of EDM programming, making anything from Psy Trance to Breakbeat to House and everything between.
I bought more equipment to add to my music making, eventually switching to software based music programming in 2004. At that time I teamed up with longtime friend Wolfgang Sukut aka (Wolf) and we formed a live electronic music duo that was short lived. We performed at Myst, a club located in Scottsdale, Arizona where many Dance Music greats have torn the floor including: Armin Van Buuren, Paul Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyke, Ferry Corsten, Deadmau5, Markus Shulz, and many many more. Wolf and I played a few more venues before parting ways in 2006. In 2008, I joined the label Soundfreq Music, an outlet in which to push my music as well as other talented artists. If you wish to support and buy any of my releases, my music can be found at Juno Download, iTunes, Rhapsody, Amazon MP3, Beats Digital, and more! In my effort to support DJs, my music is free for download here on Soundcloud.
nice bro!!!!!!!
