UMAMI

As long as I can remember, I loved music and had a respect and passion for it. I grew up surrounded by sounds from Stevie Wonder, Lionel Ritchie, Roberta Flack, Earth Wind and Fire, The Beatles and more. I've played piano since I was 7. I taught myself guitar and have picked up DJing in the past couple years.

One of my closest friends, Paolo aka DJ Cutso, started teaching me how to DJ a few years back and I started investing most of my free time teaching myself the craft. I would drool over other DJs sets and try to do what they did when I got home. Finally, Fingerbanger crew member Germel aka Gwrex asked me to DJ one of his parties and I've been addicted to jamming out for the public ever since. He threw me into the pool and I haven't gotten out!
