This Charismatic DJ from the Bronx, NY has been spinning since age 13, where his interest was sparked from the movie “Beat Street.” He saw it as a way to become a part of parties, instead of him holding up the wall, because of being a shy kid with his two left feet!

For he states, I don't get paid for the equipment I use, I get paid to ROCK THE HOUSE! So if it’s Serato, Virtual DJ, Traktor, Vinyl, or if I have to beat a drum, my audience will get their MONEY worth 100%!"
