His eclectic and versatile knowledge of club music and reputation of blending House, Techno, Jersey, Baltimore Club, UK Funky, Footwork, Amapiano, and Jungle/Drum & Bass in the same set have led to performances at Nowadays and Dweller Fest while collaborating with a buffet of musicians including Kelela, DJ Lag, Ari Lennox and more. In 2021, Nativesun launched the Black Rave Culture project with fellow D.C. friends Amal and James Bangura, which led to two critically-acclaimed album releases and appearances at Sustain Release, Slingshot Festival North Carolina and Boiler Room D.C. all in the same year. As a DJ known to be in multiple places at once, Nativesun remains on a mission to bring communities together, move bodies and redefine club music wherever he is. "If there’s a reason you can hear how fluidly one of DMV’s favorite native sons, [Nativesun], moves from style to style on the mixer and the beats, it’s because he long ago internalized the diversity of local D.C. music culture." - Afropunk "Call it an edit, a remix, a refix, whatever fits: When a DJ chops a song into bits just to reassemble it, you’re being offered a window into how this person hears the world, or maybe even a glimpse of their consciousness. In [Nativesun]’s busy head space, things feel vast, intimate, metaphysical and multidirectional. Machine rhythms crumple like gum wrappers and sheets of corrugated steel. Human voices blare like angel choirs and car alarms. The beats tend to punch, the melodies tend to tickle, but everything keeps changing position, including your body parts, and that’s called dancing." - The Washington Post "Nativesun is one-third of Black Rave Culture, who put out a varied, excellent full-length on HAUS of ALTR earlier this year." - Resident AdvisorTheir RA profile lists Big Dada and HAUS of ALTR.Recently at Bossa Nova Civic Club, Le Bain, Mansions · often with Run P., Amal, 999ADJ, none of them here that night

Since launching his music career at the age of 15, he has collaborated on records with numerous major-label artists and TV shows, including Kelly Rowland, Ryan Leslie, Kaskade, Tiesto, The Chainsmokers, Just Blaze, Steve Aoki, Diana Gordon, MKTO, and Travis Scott, among others. To name a few, The Vampire Diaries, X-Factor UK, and The 100 have featured his music. When he secured his first contract with Sony/Ultra Records under the imprint Mysto & Pizzi in 2011, he embarked on a journey to new heights in the electronic music scene. On their YouTube channel, which chronicled their career path, the duo garnered over 50 million views. In an effort to reinvent his artistic sound, Pizzi is currently exploring organic components combined with pure analog synthesis. Since 2017, he has drawn influence and inspiration from genres like Afro House, Amapiano, GQOM, and various world cultures, including his own Haitian heritage. As the resident DJ for the Descendants Afro Experience in New York, he has already shared the stage with many well-known performers in this area, including Le Soul, Cairo, Tomer, Mörda, Karyenadasoul, Citizen Deep, and Breyth. His objective is to generate original rhythms and soundscapes for generative art, showcasing his skills as a producer, DJ, and visual artist/designer.Their RA profile lists Ultra Records.Recently at SILO, Nowadays, Elsewhere · often with Niara Sterling, Dualitty, Danni Gato, none of them here that night
