At home he has DJ'ed in every major club in the Detroit Metro area, and in 2001 held a Saturday night residency at Clutch Cargo's (Pontiac, Michigan), one of the largest and longest running clubs in the United States. His music career began when he met the early Plus 8 Recording artists: Richie Hawtin, Kenny Larkin and Dan Bell. These world class techno artists introduced him to the recording studio and helped to develop, inspire and influence his musical experimentation.
