My biggest influences are some of the best radio, club, and wedding DJs I’ve heard over the years. DJ Pharris from Power 92 showed me how powerful great mixing can be to excite a crowd and create a completely new sound using preexisting songs. DJ Walt, a club DJ from Detroit, inspired me with his seamless mixes, curated song selection and ability to keep the dance floor packed all night. DJ Nick Spinelli’s creative mixes, song selection and MC skills pushed me to expand my own style, and DJ Jimmy O, who mentored me when I was first starting out, taught me the fundamentals of reading a crowd, mixing, and creating unforgettable moments.
