Originally from Pontiac Michigan where in the late 70’s and through the 80’s the famous WRIF 101 radio station could easily be picked up and the station would broadcast music from local bands late at night and the genre was rock/metal and my favorite band to hear was a local band Grimm reaper. Later on I moved into mainstream metal with bands like Ratt and Dokken and of course Ozzy. My obsession with metal took me through the 80’s and in the early 90’s I was introduced to some college bars in Champaign Illinois (green Street) and the club Chocrens where I heard my first house and deep techno and that started a whole new era in music for me to enjoy. Around 2003 while in Chicago I went to some clubs where Kim Sozzi and Lasgo along with 4 Strings was being played by DJ’s and that was the turning point for me, I was all in. I would seek out record stores across my travels in the United States and as a long haul truck driver I had the ability to listen to new techno from all across America and the obsession never stopped. Next in 2014 I created some tracks and uploaded them to sound cloud where I gained traction and I was really in my groove and then I had to stop and deal with family issues and etc, those tracks are still there. Now in 2020 I am again all in, I have released some tracks on Spotify and almost all major platforms. Let’s see where it goes…
