mindful, empathetic and compassionate artist of numerous endeavours; music production is my primary medium. minimalist by nature. virgo. infj. meditative in life. i don't think of myself as a broodingly-dark individual; musically, a bit. everything i own is black, as it provides a sense of focus and grounding. a certain darkness is needed to see the stars. i've produced eleven albums/ep's since october 2009, when djing and producing became the focus. i've held residencies in providence for up to 4yrs and look forward to getting to work in nyc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

presently relocating to brooklyn, ny. job is confirmed, nyc record label interested in working together, plane ticket purchased. sorting my first couple of weeks has been the most challenging part and several people have recommended couchsurfing.com, which i've yet to put to use. in the future i'd love to provide sanctuary to those in transit or relocating and giving back to this incredible community of like-minded, travel-addicts & trade stories.
