About / Biography

I am an American vinyl DJ living in the province of Pavia. After more than 13 years of collecting, my sets heavily feature premium vintage pressings of 60s American Soul & R&B, Jamaican Reggae, Ska, and Rocksteady, 70s Funk, 80s New Wave, and 90s/2000s classic Hip-Hop. I make custom playlists and take requests if needed with my computer by using Serrato/Rekordbox. When hired, I can bring all necessary equipment, including speakers, turntables, mixer, and a basic lighting setup. I provide two types of audio setups. The first is a traditional Jamaican high fidelity sound system constructed by hand, better suited for indoor events. The second is a pair of DB Technologies powered PAs, which are compact and powerful for any occasion.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I require a sturdy, flat table/booth space of at least 2 meters × ,80 cm and stable 220V power outlet close to the performance area and a secure parking space for a mid-size SUV.


What information do you require about a venue?

I need specific parking instructions for loading in. I would also need to know if there are any sound ordinances for the area.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, I am completely autonomous. I bring my own sound system as well as a very simple lighting rig


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, I can choose the music or let the host choose what to play.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

I played supporting New York's ska band The Slackers at the Marquis Theatre in Denver. Seeing 250+ people dressed in semi-formal attire dancing to vintage Jamaican vibes was magical. My favorite venue was The San Gaudenzio Castle where I organized two nights of vinyl Djs from all across Lombardy.


What's your favourite type of event?

Summer parties are my favorite. Whether at a bar, or in a plaza, the vibes of 60s and 70s music on vinyl has a universally positive effect on the listeners.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I started gigging in Denver, Colorado after discovering my passion for record collecting. I came home from Jamaica after a week of digging with a catalog big enough to play out with a group of other DJs in the area with the same passion. Since then, I have constructed a Jamaican-style analog sound system and continued to amass a vast catalog of LPs and single 45s that I showcase through my sets for public and private audiences.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I normally arrive 90 minutes before the performance to set up. I perform as long as required by the host. For longer events, I use an LP record for a 10-minute, or 3-song restroom break.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Absolutely, but I ask for a shaded area, flat level surface, and a nearby power supply.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

If asked beforehand, I can provide custom playlists and take requests.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous clients have described my sets as unique, eclectic, upbeat, and well-balanced. My most common compliment is how impressive it is that I have so many dancefloor hits from so may decades on 45 single records.
