Who they are
“I was born and raised in the Caribbean, specifically in Barbados, where dance music and community are very alive in our daily lives especially within our community.”
their own biography
the whole biography
I was born and raised in the Caribbean, specifically in Barbados, where dance music and community are very alive in our daily lives especially within our community. I grew up mostly listening to dancehall and reggae in my household, but from a young age I found myself draw to techno through dancing — not through a scene, but through how the rhythm made me feel in my body. Techno is a sound that’s far from common in the Eastern Caribbean, which made the connection I feel for it even more personal. it resonated with me in a way that felt physical, emotional, and deeply personal. I started producing electronic dance music in Barbados just for fun, but after moving to the United States at 18, I began to take it more seriously. I started DJing in college, and over time, it grew into something much bigger than a hobby but a way of creating the saame freedom of dancing through sound processing and expressing experience.Recently at Bossa Nova Civic Club, Le Petit Box, H0L0 · often with BLAIZE, LITA DA DOLL, DiM, none of them here that night
