I am a 30 year old Producer and DJ from Knoxville, TN. Although I primarily DJ and love to incorperate live sequencing, sampling, and actually playing my drum machines and using my synths and effects on the fly, I also have been producing music more in the past few years than any other time since falling in love with music as a child & expanding my love and passion for music with hip-hop and many different genres of electronic music. My current production setup includes my Korg Synth and Midi keyboard, Akai AMX 8, and I step-sequence with them thru my old school Alesis SR-16.Primarily producing using Ableton Live 9, Maschine, Massive, Reaktor 5&6 (with Razor, Absynth, etc inside Reaktor) Komplete 9 Production Suite, and running OZONE 5 for most mastering. Djing, I am currently...I am a 30 year old Producer and DJ from Knoxville, TN.

Djing, I am currently running my Novation Twitch, and 2 Reloop Contours with an Orbit from Numark for extra control in my fully digital setup. I have, and also use my pair of NDX500 CDJ style cd players from Numark in my cd player setup, and have Numark TTx Series vinyl turntables with a analog Behringer USB 4 channel VMX Series Mixer. I am a scripting and mapping FANATIC, and love to also help my fellow digital djs whenever possible. I am a Pro and Licensed member and customer of Traktor Pro 2, Serato DJ (Itch and SSL), and of course saving the best for last, my current favorite software on the market Virtual DJ 8. I also own, and work with lesser known and used softwares like the new Deckadance 2.5 (now owned by Stanton), DJuced, and a few other upcoming softwares. I also ALWAYS use Mixed in Key 7, and occasionally use my Platinum Notes 4 when needed (mostly used on my own productions, for pre-mastered demos of my tracks to play out at the club). I've been a self-taught musician since the age of 5 playing piano, around age 9 guitar, bass, and drums. I reside in Knoxville, TN currently, and I am at the time a disabled tattoo artist/enthusiast by day, and a mild-mannered DJ/Producer by night. I mainly produce Breaks, hip-hop, dnb, dubstep,trip-hop, trap, but all in all a little bit of everything. If anyone needs to reach me for help with anything music oriented feel free to reach out to me with a message and I'll do me best to help. Also, I am looking to do a collaboration with other DJs or Producers both musically and in a side project to do free tutorials on youtube and try to keep working on my collection of 1-of-a-kind MONSTA advanced mappings, skins, and other digital based projects, in the hope to eventually one day hopefully be able to build an imperior collection and website for DJs, of unique/one-of-a-kind & custom mappings, scripts and tools to use to help teach and advance with many much needed implimentations and add-ons for the digital dj community! I am currently located in the East TN area in my native Knox County, and unless always communicating with any future project partners strictly thru a computer, it would be best to work with someone in my area. Due to the fact I have been permenantly disabled and only do my music projects for the love of the music, and no longer am able to really play-out at shows; I use my music as my hobby , my obsession, as my therapy (mental and physical), and as my life!!! MUSIC=LIFE
P.S. I highly recommend for anyone who is dealing with a terminal illness, or any severe medical conditions to truly delve deeply and head first into any music that you love, and just to experiment with using music as a true therapy for the mind and soul. I must say I use music everyday to give myself the energy to even be able to get out of the bed and live what life I have left. With being unable to really go enjoy myself out in the world, music helps me excape the four walls of my room and brings some enjoyment. Music always provides a proven peace and comfort to me when all else seems for-not!
