My Story

My life began the day two towers were struck by two planes, and my country was forced to reckon with unimaginable loss & its leaders' negligence. My tears fell on silent ears that day, and God gave me life in the new world that came after.

 

As a young artist, I was always in tune with the sounds around me. The nature that surrounded me grounded me from a young age, and my grandmother’s piano rang warmly through my childhood. She showed me how to paint and taught me a thing or two on the keys.

 

My best friend as a kid was the son of two Mexican immigrants, and through them, I was introduced to a culture deeper than my own for the first time—new activities, new food, new art, and new music entered my life. It was at this age that I learned drums and rhythm and discovered hip-hop.

 

As I entered my preteens, I found myself at Future Shock, my local skate shop. It was there that I discovered metal music, old-school hardcore punk, and the skateboarding culture that breathes life into so many visceral art forms for which I love.

 

I left God behind me around that time and picked up a guitar to learn the basics of soloing and scales. Eventually, I began writing songs with a loop pedal, sketching album designs, and recording rough demos. I taught myself to create compelling songs with just a loop, layering, and basic songwriting skills.

 

In college, I immersed myself in shoegaze and hardcore punk. Alongside my co-organizers, I helped build a house venue in Boulder called Blue House. It became a rare haven for queer folk, where music was the central focus and entry was always affordable. We cultivated a community that played a pivotal role in Denver’s hardcore boom during that time. However, hardcore punk eventually revealed itself to be as toxic as its dance moves.

 

Despite this, I spent most of my free time at gigs or playing with my bands while grinding through school. Tight budgets pushed me to be resourceful, but I maintained a strong presence in Denver’s underground scene. Through my audience and connections, I found my way into many other corners of the Front Range creative community, where I encountered the innovative, boundary-pushing shows put on by Faith Changes the World & House of Dead. Their ethos, energy, wisdom, open-mindedness, and passion reignited my love for what first captivated me as an adolescent: EDM.

 

Since then, I’ve immersed myself in DJ culture, studying its history, practicing techniques, and listening to endless hours of mixes and records. I’ve learned through self-discipline, showing out for my friends, digging through crates, and burying myself deep in the sounds that move me. This has allowed me to craft a unique palette and style that is prescient to the climate we live in and representative of the music cultures I am apart of and adore.

 

In 2025, I moved to Los Angeles—a fresh face with newfound faith in a city reeling from recent climate devastation. Here, I feel God’s presence guiding me. This city’s light is leading me toward where I’m needed, and I’m ready to step into this next chapter.


Thank You for Joining Me, together we will be the change we must see in the world.
