the whole biography
With over 13 years of DJing under his belt, CeaseDays has continued to surpass expectations on and off of the turntables. In 2013 he was recruited to be a DJ and show host for UIC Radio. CeaseDays was best described as being diligent and persistent. You might catch him DJing or networking with Chicago's most industrious community. In 2016 he joined KRYC Rhythm 105.9FM out of Sacramento, where he was part of the "Street Party Mix", a weekend mix series with other DJs across the nation such as Richard Vission, DJ Prince Ice, & YellowClaw. His experience in college radio has earned him National recognition as being a finalist for the Best Show Promotion for the Thumpin' Thursdays name. Guests on the show have included top stars which he keeps a close relation with such as King Louie, the Typical Cats, Alex Wiley, The Original Rick Ross, Crucial Conflict, DJ Gant-Man, DJ Deeon, Boi Jeanius, Steve "Silk" Hurley, Dajae, Gettoblaster, DJ Metro, DJ Non-Stop (DMX’s DJ) and many more over its 6 year lifetime. A collection of events have been branded as Thumpin' Thursdays events, including (but not limited to) an Open Mic series for spoken word and hip hop artists to showcase themselves for fun, feedback and possibly some recognition. As of 2017, he is the organizer of 'House of Sol', Chicago's only free outdoor festival highlighting the homegrown sound of Chicago House Music. House of Sol is part of the annual Fiesta Del Sol festival. Notable DJs on this bill have included Terry Hunter and Alan King of the Chosen Few, DJ Heather, Colette, Gettoblaster, Kid Enigma, Ron Carroll, Michael Serafini, DJ Clent, Traxman, Iz & Diz, and many more. CeaseDays could be heard in almost any neighborhood of Chicago, whether it be DJing, on the radio, or hosting different events in the nightlife, educational or social justice field. He likes relaxing and hanging out with close friends/family. As of 2018, he is part of a social club by the name of “Los Desvelados” (DSVLDS), who have been taking over the streets and radio stations of Chicago. In late 2018, CeaseDays was recruited by "La Mezcla" which is a collective of DJs from across the world whom each have radio programs and share a spotlight on their DIY network. In 2021, he joined M-Dok & Syko as part of the Tribe collective, showcasing Chicago's house movement to the rest of the world.Recently at Jupiter Disco, House of Yes, Pianos · often with Syko, Jeremy Giros, Bendito, none of them here that night
