I was lucky to see shows like Pearl Jam, Primus, Fishbone, Rage Against the Machine , Ska Fests, Deathprobe's and Sunday Night Dance Parties at a young age.

If you had told me I would be playing in  main room less than 10 years later, I would have said you're nutz! I never have taken it for granted and am honored to have played on the same stage as so many of my musical influences. It is because of First Ave and promoters/DJ's/Friends like Nick Gunz, Fresko, Dj Echo, Simply Adrian, JT, DVS1, Aaron Bliss, Woody, and Centrific that I have friends so close they're family today. That building on the corner of 1st Ave & 7th Street is Home.

The exposer of Djing at First Ave also paved the road to be honored with a  Minnesota Music Award as well as being named City Pages Club DJ of the Year (I love you Jen Boyles! That bio-still cracks me up :)

This is more of a thank you than a request. So from the bottom of my black heart  :) THANKS FOR ALL THE MEMORIES PAST AND ONE's TO COME! CHEERS!
