• My Relationship with Music:

  Music has been a big part of my life ever since I can remember. My father would play various bands that he liked when I was young, and that's where I started to really get into it.

  I've also done music courses here and there in my academic history, and that has really helped me gain a deeper appreciation for all kinds of music, not just the kind I gravitate towards.

• Favorite Part About Being a DJ:

  I like it when the music I'm playing and the crowd really click. There's something special about being on the same page as a bunch of other people when it comes to the music we're all listening to.
