Accomplishments
Spent the last 5 or so years touring and gaining traction with my music label AmericanGrime. We play a very niche style of music originated in London. We've played music festivals all over the world, such as Outlook Festival in croatia, and Hulaween music festival right here in central Florida. We've been featured on radio stations like RinseFM, KissFM, BBC Radio 1 and more. We look to be able to expand and tour full time in 2022, hopefully getting some more lucrative bookings such as EDC, Outlook UK, and Shambala music festival in British Columbia.

Hobbies
Since the age of 10 Ive been drag racing cars. Won a championship at 14, and decided the following year to travel to all of the major races across the US instead of racing at the same local tracks for another championship. By 15 I was traveling across the country solo with friends and their families. I made a lot of friends from the US at a young age and it really gave me the bug to travel more. Now as a traveling DJ I get paid and flown out to new cities/Countries on the regular and I have my racing bug to blame for that. At almost 31 I'm still very much involved in racing. Outside of that, I play and enjoy video games regularly, I snowboard, I ride ATV's and motorcycles. Anything fun I can and will do.
