Legends like Michael Jackson and Madonna, to name just two. They’ve inspired me in every way with their music and helped me to become the person I am today.

Define your ideal club or place to DJ?
I love what I do, no matter where I play. I play for the people and every time I go out and hit the decks the excitement remains the same for me.
