At the age of one Herbie received, from his grandfather, his first record player, and a stack of 45s. In those grooves was born Herbie's passion for music. That stack has since turned into well over thirty feet, floor to ceiling, of vinyl; filtered over the years to perfection, and the closet ‘o CD's, and Still collecting.

His love of music led him to a degree in piano and jazz composition at the University Of Southern Mississippi. Following Herbie's education he moved to Madrid, Spain where, for the next three years, he played piano in jazz and funk bands. Returning to the United States and settling in South Florida during the peak of the disco era, he pursued his music career performing on keyboards in a ten piece disco show band. After hours found Herbie hanging out on the dance floors of such legends as Danny Tenaglia, Buc, Peter Stout and Doug Bryson, to name a few DJ's that inspired. Respect, to All DJ's.
So moved by the sounds emanating from those turntables Herbie bought his own gear and honed his skills playing house parties. The love shown and he soon accepted his first residency at the renowned Marlin Beach Hotel. Never looking back, other notorious residencies followed at The Stud, The Edge, and Diamante. He has moved the masses at incredible parties such as "Renaissance" at Viscaya, "Summer Splash" at Seaworld; "Mineshaft" (Winter Party '05), "Leather Mask Ball (White Party '06), at Kaos (Winter Music Conference, opening for Crystal Method,) and at the Delano Hotel (opening for Armand Van Helden.) Herbie's powerful sounds have been heard at celebrated clubs including Liquid, Twist, Salvation, Warsaw Ballroom, and major leather events around the country.
Currently in residence at the Ramrod, Fort Lauderdale, he continues to explore and create the new sounds of what works today, always searching for what's working in dance music. His energies have guided him into the production studio, mastering the tools of the cyber beat.
This man brings a real love for the music to the floor. Think soulful, funky, groovy, bass line heavy, sexy house; meets hard, head bobbin', electronic driven, rhythmic energy; and you might have a handle on his music. Always with a positive, uplifting, message of love mixed with the seductive dark beat of sexual energy to keep you from leaving.
