My Story

Growing up in rural Ohio, I knew nothing about electronic music until I moved to NYC for college. Because I was scared to be out in my college environment, I found solace and freedom in underground parties like the renowned “Wrecked,” and quickly developed a taste for electronic music’s colder, darker side. It resonated with my general feeling of isolation during the Covid pandemic.

Moving to Chicago after graduating, my taste for techno became refined and intensified, notably by festivals such as ARC and Ultra, and influenced by producers Adam Beyer, Maddix, Layton Giordani, and so many more talented underground names.

Today, I’m versed in many vibes and subgenres of dance: Peak-time, MainStage, hard, hardcore, and melodic techno, and Psytrance.
