Raised in the Bay Area, California, on the edges of the late ’90s house scene, he grew up between underground electronic music, punk-ska energy, and the laid-back grooves of reggae. Artists like Sublime, Bob Marley and Paul van Dyk shared space with a less glamorous musical upbringing: years of reluctantly practicing classical piano and the structured brilliance of Johann Sebastian Bach.
While studying electronic music at De Anza College in Cupertino, he began experimenting with early house production before life carried him to Washington, DC and later Zurich. A career in banking, hobby coding, and raising a family followed.
Years later, armed with modern tools and a burst of mid-life creative energy, he returned to music—blending Bay Area house nostalgia, reggae warmth, trance melodies and classical instincts into a playful but serious push at the boundaries of amateur electronic production.
