My Relationship with Music:

As you can tell I am an “Old Soul.” Ever since I was a kid I was dancing and singing in the living room, in church, and even in grocery stores. Music is life and I know wherever I go music will always be with me. I really started getting into Michael Jackson when I was 7 years old and once I saw the way the man moved across the stage, I had to learn how to dance like that! That is where I got my nickname “The Dancin Machine.” I also was in percussion and choir in middle school and high school. Having that background really helps me when I am mixing songs together and when I am dancing and staying on beat. Don’t be surprised if you see me dancing while DJing! ????

Favorite Part About Being a DJ:

I love connecting with people! So many times we focus on what makes us different, but by using different genres and embracing our differences; we can all come together through the power of music! I get so much joy from seeing people being their authentic selves on the dance floor and letting loose having the time of their lives!

I Want You To Know:

I love entertaining people! It’s so much more than just playing music for me as a DJ. It’s about feeling the vibe with people and creating special moments that will last a lifetime. I want to make sure you just don't have a good time, but a GREAT time when you party with me!
