I LOVE WHAT I DO!!!!
I was born a proud member of the Muscogee Creek Tribe, I went to school, I started spinnin’ records, I graduated, I grew up (#PeterPan), I Joined the Detroit fire department (I was injured in the line of duty & Retired). For the past 25+ years I’ve been touring the world Spinning Records and sharing this really cool gift of music I have with anyone that wants to learn. I bring a wealth of knowledge and a positive attitude to every gig. My style is a Fresh Blend of Turntablism, Mixing & Party Rocking! I’ve had the opportunity to tour with the likes of XZIBIT, Linkin Park, Eminem, Papa Roach, Obie Trice, Public Enemy, Champtown, KRS- 1, Ras Kass, Mahogany Jones, Black Bottom Collective, Royce The 5’9″, and many more! All these High level touring opportunities have helped me grow into more of a complete entertainer which enhances my solo gigs. I began my Musical Journey after i graduated from high school. My neighbor gave me a two 6 turntables that I took to college and started paying with. After a few weeks of telling people I was just learning I started taking small campus parties and armed with one crate of records, a CD player I bought from a pawn shop and my parents cassette player I took a large High school party that I totally bombed! after that Bad gig having a Twix candy bar, a empty Pop Can and a Pizza crust thrown at me I vowed to practice everyday and take over the DJ world. Since then I’ve been Living the dream trotting the globe performing, teaching the Art of Turntablism & Hip Hop Culture.
