I’ve had some great gigs in the last 8 months, particularly playing the last Halloween Masked Ball. I have FrENDzy coming up in September and some local gigs this summer.

What artists have inspired your DJ style?

I do follow a lot of different artists, so inspiration comes from finding new artists and new music.
