Born in the 80s in Newark, New Jersey, I grew up immersed in the vibrant culture of North Jersey, just 20 minutes from Manhattan. This region, known as the soul of house music, shaped my passion for dance, music, and community. Surrounded by icons like Lauryn Hill, Whitney Houston, and Wyclef Jean, my roots are deeply tied to the era when house music, gospel, and soul fused into a movement. As a club kid in the ’90s, I was a regular at NYC and Jersey house/techno venues, soaking in the energy of places like Soundfactory, Tunnel, Limelight, Exit to name a few. The sounds of legends like Tony Humphries and Kerri Chandler were the soundtrack to my teenage years, fueling my love for house music and inspiring my journey as a DJ, dancer, and aspiring producer. Now based in Frankfurt for over 15 years, I co-founded Houseaholics, where I organize events like house dance workshops, community jams, and club nights that celebrate the essence of house culture. Whether I’m spinning tracks, producing beats, or bringing people together on the dance floor, my goal is to keep the soul of house alive—one groove at a time. New Jersey gave house music its heart, and I’m proud to carry that legacy forward, blending my roots with global influences to create a sound that moves people everywhere.
