• Hobbies:

  Growing up in the Duluth area, I naturally developed a love for the outdoors.

Lastly, I love traveling and learning about new cultures.

• Genre Preferences / Specialties:

  Growing up with streaming services rather than CDs and iTunes blended the lines between genres for me. The feel of a song and the emotion it evokes is the most important part for me. I am very well versed when it comes to hip hop - especially the underground stuff that is closer to poetry than rap. That’s not to say I don’t dabble in a wide variety of genres as well! I have a strong love for R&B (especially the ‘90s), electronic, indie, alt rock, funk, soul, folk, jazz, and reggae.

• My Relationship with Music:

  Ever since I was a kid, music has been a part of my everyday life. Back then it was burning CD playlists, practicing guitar, and listening to Run-DMC Pandora radio. Nowadays I mostly procrastinate my homework and studying by doing deep dives on Spotify with the goal of finding a few new artists to show my friends. I also spent a year curating a fluid playlist that acted as a weekly radio for those who wanted to tune in to what I was listening to. I ended up having over 50 followers.

• Favorite Part About Being a DJ:

  The ability to flood a room with smiles and energy is by far the best part about being a DJ. A close second is being able to add to the environment without taking the spotlight away from the newlyweds and their loved ones.
