• My Relationship with Music:

  Music was an instrumental part of my childhood. My dad bought me a keyboard and I took piano lessons for years. Eventually I taught myself to play by ear and also picked up guitar. I now write my own music. I also have been the person that my family and friends turn to when music is needed. I enjoy picking songs that suit the event and interests of the crowd.

• Favorite Part About Being a DJ:

  I love seeing people dancing at weddings--especially people who don't appear to be dancers who surprise everyone by busting out great moves. I also love how the first dance and father/daughter dance are beautiful cinematic moments filled with emotion.
