What does it mean to you to be a DJ or RR DJ:
I have given my entire life to music. Since age 9, I have studied musicianship, composition, played instruments, wrote songs, studied Hip-Hop History, and now the craft of DJing. It is truly a self rewarding form of expression and allows you to affect the masses. It’s a blessing to follow this path with my gift.

I want to be happy and I am a dream chaser. I’ve accomplished almost everything I wanted academically and financially and learned there is more to the recipe of happiness than reaching those goals. I am a self-starter and a proven leader in the community and I care about those around me.
My two mottos in life are:
“A good piece of steel is made through intense heat and pressure”
“Think big, start small, and move quickly”
