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”
