While spinning tracks will remain my ultimate passion, the current creative environment necessitates more than just an exceptional playlist to genuinely engage an audience and narrate an intriguing story.
Music was my initial love. I was raised surrounded by the rhythms of ’90s hip hop—tuning into Hot 97 and making mixtapes for my friends featuring icons like Nas, The Notorious B.I.G., A Tribe Called Quest, and Snoop Dogg. After relocating to New York City for my studies, I soon felt a pull towards the lively club scene. That’s when I began DJing, ultimately securing gigs at legendary venues such as Bungalow 8, Gold Bar, Lotus, PM, Suede, Hudson Terrace, and others.
What started as a fervor for sharing music transformed into a worldwide adventure. Today, I operate my own DJ and creative consultancy enterprises. Thanks to advancements in technology, I am able to bring my narratives to life in innovative and visually captivating ways—an indispensable aspect of my profession.
To produce content, I utilize a variety of tools. For video and photo capture, I rely on my iPhone, Canon EOS R5 Mark II, Fuji X100VI mirrorless cameras, a GoPro Hero 7, an Insta360 camera, and occasionally a DJI Mavic Pro 2 drone for engaging aerial footage. For clear, high-quality audio, I trust the Rode Wireless Pro. I also love to experiment with 35mm film and compact digital cameras to introduce a nostalgic element to my visuals.
When it comes to editing, I alternate between Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Adobe Premiere Pro, depending on whether I am using my MacBook Pro or Windows PC. For music production and remixing, apps like Stemverter and Logic Pro assist me in swiftly creating edits for my DJ sets, which I perform using Serato DJ or Rekordbox. The generative fill feature in Adobe Photoshop has also proven to be a transformative tool, aiding me in expanding creative potential in photo editing.
Mastering these tools not only enhances my creative workflow but also simplifies collaboration with fellow artists and storytellers. They enable me to produce captivating content and visually express my greatest passion—sharing music with the world.
