San Francisco, New York City, Madrid, Barcelona, Orlando, New England...
That's just the beginning of this wonderful journey.
My journey began when I saw the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind. As a child I was completely overcome by the concept of the Sun blasting from the sky and singing to me. This Earth shattering notion has stayed with me and it has put its imprint on me at the age of four.
Interestingly, it wasn't until recently that I reconnected with and understood the phenomenon of sound blasting from the sky - pleasantly - allowing colors and lights to sing back to me on a dance floor. I've always communicated with people in the past about how I can recognize colors through key signatures and they always came back with "have another pill, sweetie". But I never had to alter my mind to enjoy the sights of sound. As I connect more with my synesthesia, music, podcasting, and remixing music become pure art and pleasure.
My musical performance journey began at the age of 12 when I taught myself to read music and play piano. I was admitted into the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts. I went through intensive ear training, advanced musical theory, and performed in state-wide jazz competitions in a small and large jazz ensemble. Even though I've always been a fan of the club scene I really only started taking music mixing/blending seriously in December 2006. I bought my first Denon CDJs, a Pioneer mixer, and got myself a job as a bar DJ once a month in Portland, Oregon. 6 months later I was DJing the largest dancefloor in Maine at the annual Southern Maine Pride Pier Dance. Soon after in June 2007 I started my website and to this day have received over 100,000 hits and up to 40,000 podcast downloads through various channels.
Music is viral. I'm in it for the journey. I would love the opportunity to take you with me.
