His love of music started before he could walk, listening to his father play blues licks on his guitar in their living room. In elementary school he was introduced to the drums and instantly became hooked. He played the drums for many years and through his love of rhythym, developed a passion for electronic music. He began DJing in his early 20's and became ever more concious of the connection between music and technology. He moved to Phoenix in 2003 to attend the recording program at CRAS.
