“Music breaks down all boundaries and speaks to everyone, no matter where they’re from. Each song can bring back memories just like a familiar smell, capturing moments and feelings that go beyond time and place. As a DJ, I love creating these experiences, knowing that the beats and melodies I play can bring people together, make them feel something deep, and create connections through the universal language of music and dance. It makes me really happy to see these moments come to life.”

“Progress isn’t always booking the big show, landing the promotion you’ve eyeing or an arbitrary milestone. Sometimes progress is just waking up and choosing to take the first step towards your goal. Champions aren’t made in the ring, they’re simply recognised there.”

“Dj is like a chef, you need good ingredients, good taste buds and good skills to make a great dish. You want to tell a story from beginning to end with multiple courses. Be brave to challenge people’s taste buds, and always think outside the box to surprise them.

If you play the same music that most other DJs play, you will never stand out. You also have to make real connections with people on the dance floor, and give them the best night out.

Social media is only a tool, you have to have skills and experience, do your homework to listen to many genres, what’s popular now will not be popular 5 years from now.

And last but not least, always play what you like and hope they like it too.“

“My reason for referring to social media as the new ‘snake oil’ is that many people today are being booked based on their follower count, not their actual skill in DJing or music production. The term ‘influencer’ to me is a hollow label—your ‘skill’ becomes just having a personality online. That doesn’t make sense in the context of being a true artist. There are countless artists who have honed their craft for decades, and seeing these influencers take opportunities away feels like a slap in the face.

In particular, I believe Vancouver has a serious problem with how talent is booked, without a proper vetting process. Press kits are like résumés, showcasing an artist’s achievements, yet they seem to be ignored in favor of social media metrics. The scene could learn a lot from venues and organizations like Gorg-O-Mish, Van Tek, and Soma, all of which I have personal relationships with. I feel they’re doing things the right way here in the city.

It’s frustrating for someone like myself, and other artists who have been playing in Vancouver for over a decade, to still be told to perform for free or have our Press kits overlooked. I played a resident gig for free for three years, and I’ve more than paid my dues. At this point in my career, I feel I have the right to choose when and where I play for free not exposure bucks.”

“If you’re in the producer’s game, learn the basic fundamentals of the DAW you’re using before racing to get music out there. It’ll give you creative freedom when you sit down to write music and will speed things up. I made this mistake. So learn from my failure.

Secondly, music is a team sport. Maintain a professional relationship with the labels you work with, promoters/entrepreneurs who’ve given you a stage, partygoers who’ve had their hands in the air at your drops, the security at venues ensuring everyone’s safety, the bartenders serving up drinks, the cleaners who efficiently wash up the mess a show makes (if you happen to cross paths with them), and just people generally involved in the space.

Be easy to deal with. Show up on time. Respond to communication on time. These things are the bare minimum. And they’re easy to do. A lot of the people you deal with in this industry might become lifelong friends. And how you can replace that?

Thirdly, don’t overcomplicate things in your own head. Stick to your love for the music.

Finally, thank your mom for being your biggest fan. Because we both know she is. And always will be.“

“It’s not just about the music; it’s about the energy we bring, the spaces we create, and the memories we leave behind.”

This quote reflects my approach as a DJ and event curator. It’s about the connection we build through music, the unique spaces we create together, and the lasting memories we take away.

I’m all about crafting unforgettable experiences where everyone feels the energy and becomes part of something bigger—whether on the dance floor, at a festival, during those late-night sessions or at a wellness event.”

“Techno music goes beyond words, transcending language and cultural barriers to create something truly universal. It’s not just about beats and rhythms; it’s a powerful force that heals and uplifts, bringing people together from all walks of life. On the dancefloor, in that shared energy, we’re reminded that we are all part of something bigger—this global movement where the music unites us in an unbreakable bond. It’s a reminder that no matter where we come from, we are connected through the pulse of the music, through the freedom it brings, and through the collective joy we feel.”
