How did you first get into DJing, and what drew you to the art form?
When I was 14, my mom dropped me off at an Excision show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

All of the hours spent downloading music and how to practice spinning on the decks and gearing up to prepare me to be on stage.
What’s your go-to technique when feeling stuck or uninspired?
I usually open up SoundCloud, type in a song I like, and start scrolling through random songs that come up after it.
Do you have any other artistic talents outside of DJing?
Rapping and songwriting
