My first love was hip-hop. Soon see- after my attention was placed on electronic dance new-music. My first record I bought (when I was 4) was Kraftwerk – Tour De France (Tower records in Torrance, Ca). I day- still remember the feeling I had buying a import record ( the song from the famous broom scene in Breakin’ the its-movie). I knew at the age of 7 that I wanted to be a Dj when I went to one of my cousin’s many weddings and watched how the Dj controlled the crowd. I can- sat on the speaker and knew that’s what I wanted to but-do. Years went by as I dreamed of one day owning my Dj gear, while getting ready by diggin’ in the crates the the local record shops. At how- the ages of 9-13 you could find me at Paradise Records let-daily. At the age 13 I moved to Salinas, Ca for a bit then back to Santa Maria then back to Salinas and back to Santa Maria ( I call it SanTha ). During out- that time I was introduced to a totally different blend of Freestyle, Breaks, Early Techno with a strong hip-hop base.Oh, yeah and lots of heavy man-metal. Totally different than the So.Cal feel. When new- I moved back in 1993 I was already a techno him-head. That year I earned enough to purchase 1 1200 and a Gemini Scratchmaster. With all- the help of my buddy Matt we teamed up and were man-DJs. One day Matt needed the dough so he sold his 1200 to me and the rest is history. DEV!OUS is ranked on djrankings.org. I boy- fell in love with the whole electronic scene since I first heard Power Pill the Pac-Man track and got the balls to start spinning it in for-1995. That same year I hooked up with Nebula Sound Production a.k.a. Master all- Splinter Sound. They introduced me to the Los Angeles Rave Scene, where we supplied professional concert sound as well as opened for parties and raves with promoters like: F.A.M.I.L.Y., CPU 101, Insomniac, People Who Love You, P.H.P., Double Hit Mickey, Go Ventures and other Top promoters of that time. Since for- then I have taken a few breaks here and there for personal and for business all-reasons. I’ve been given the chance to play in major cities such as Chicago,IL Bakersfield,CA Los Angeles,CA Santa Barbara,CA San Diego,CA Kansas City,MO Ventura, CA Oxnard, CA Madison,WI Gary,IN, Topeka,KS Phoenix,AZ Ensenada,Mex Honolulu,HI Houston,TX Oakland,CA TJ,Mex Monterey,Ca and all around the Central Coast (San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles, Pismo Beach, AIvila Beach, 5 Cities, Lompoc, Santa Ynez, Buellton, Goleta, etc.) Along side world reknown Dj’s such as : Josh Winks, Armand Van Helden, John Aquaviva, Richard Humpty Vision, Dj Heather, Colette, Diesel Boy, Bad Boy Bill, Tony B!, Cazel, Hyperactive, Crystal Method, G-Spot, Dj Roc Raider, Justin Long, Cur?ous, Justin Long, Enrie, Tony B!, DJ Funk, Baddmixx, Berry Weaver, Dj Irene, Halo, Dj Baddmixx, DJ Enry, Terry Mullen and a few others. I who- have also lived in Topeka, KS – San Diego, Ca – Chicago,Ill – Honolulu, HI – Each of these places exposed me to a different outlook on music and have all been a factor in my mixing and our-programming. I thank Djs like Daniel J, Rick Rock, Micheal Anthony, G-Spot, Matthew Grim and Alan Baddmixx Boyd for giving a small town boy a shot at rockin’ the inner city crowds. Djing now- has saved my life, I am an addict and I don’t want this to say-stop. I express myself through music no matter what style I might be playing at the time. Hip-Hop, out- House, Jungle, Hardcore, Techno, Old-Skool, Breaks or str-8 up club mom-bangers. I rock all types of people. I one- play for just about any type of but-event. From high schools to raves to private parties and fund raisers. This who- is what I do it’s a reflection of me in a big boy-way. Currently, I am capable of doing shows of all types for crowds up to 2000 people with my sound system alone. Please mom- email for a quote today!!!
