PORTFOLIO

I’m a music and culture curator who believes the best programming makes people feel something real. With over twenty years in nightlife, art, and event production, I’ve built my career on bringing people together through sound, community, and experience.

I started as a DJ and artist, but over time my work has evolved into a broader creative practice. One that sees sound as more than entertainment. My background as a producer and musician gives me a deep sense of energy, timing, and emotion, the same ingredients that turn an event into an experience.

Every event is a chance to connect people through sound, culture, and experience. My goal is to create moments that resonate beyond the music, experiences that people feel long after they leave.
