Can you describe your music?
When I DJ, the first thing I do is try to get a feel or a vibe from the people I’m playing for.  It’s really important to me that they have a great time and I love to see them enjoying what I play.  I really love to play rock, but also mash-ups from Rn’B/Hip Hop with ’60s, ’70s and ’80s. They make great party tunes! If the mood is right, I sometimes also enjoy a more mellow side, with some easy listening and chill-out.

If you were not a DJ, what/who would you be?
Definitely something that taps into the creative side of my brain.  Fashion designer or stylist.  Photographer or artist. Music finder for movies/soundtracks.
.
Dress code for a fancy night out?
A nice dress with some hot boots (flat) and a rockin’ leather jacket.  If it’s really fancy then I’d change theboots for a sexy pair of pumps.

The quote that defines you?
All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them
