Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. I use Serato which intergrades your Laptop, Serato, Mixer, and Turntables. In other words it emulates your MP3's as if you had them on real vinyl, but without the hissing and poping noise. I also have a Kaos Pad for sound efx for music or mic. I'm skilled at scratching too!!! Alot of other dj's play on cd players, or maybe they have turntables but they dont have any skills other than pressing play and stop on their turntables. That is not me, I was on vinyl before serato, but I can use a cd you may have and emulate what it would be like on vinyl. Maybe you dont sound good on the mic???? I have a special efx Kaos pad to help you in that area. It can make you sound like lil wayne or the transformers :)

Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?
