About my journey in the music industry, And what inspired me to pursue a career in music?

My love of Hip-Hop inspired me to want to the learn the skills to share the music through DJ’ing. Early mix tapes and word of mouth led to local bookings supporting national and international artists and eventually promoting my own nights.

Connecting to others through gigs and via my radio show enabled me to showcase my production skills and work with rappers from around the world.
