Our Mind Creates Reality
What good is livin’ a life you’ve been givin’ if all you do is stand in one place? Kenny Chesney Society will have us think we’re drastically different from our ancestors. Discrimination, inequality, and hatred are nothing new. We hope with increasingly accessible knowledge we can dissolve evil into love. As American citizens, we’re conditioned to believe We the People have the power. Whoever is elected next will change our life.

The Dream
I love the opportunity to unite people through rhythm. I am drawn by the ability to mix classic songs creatively – resulting in the audience dancing to artists such as the Beatles in the 21st century. There are many different scratching techniques for transitions. I don’t use any of them. Currently I make my sets flow through natural transitions by piecing together loops and beats all found within the tracks. I admire artists who can take the audience on a journey by telling a story through their set. I strive to bridge the gap between EDM/Dubstep and Disco with a … Continue reading The Dream
Stories surrounding music have the ability to move us as much as the music itself.
