From a young age, I became deeply immersed in the vibrant world of electronic music. I grew up in Trenton, New Jersey, before moving to Tampa at the age of 13. After attending Gaither High School in Tampa, my passion for EDM truly ignited, leading me to the clubs across Florida, and eventually into spinning records and enjoying the music scene until 2007. Then, life took me on a different journey, and I found myself drifting away from the music that once defined me.

2023, enter PhoenixRising (aka Phoenix Rising, PhoenixRisingMusik) —the Phoenix is a symbol of rebirth and resilience. This journey stands as a testament to the power of faith, determination, perseverance, and patience until I was finally reborn. After a ~16-year hiatus, I returned to the decks, rebuilding my vinyl collection from scratch, with a renewed mission: to share the joy of breaks with as many people as possible. You can find my mixes on SoundCloud or MixCloud, and you can also see me live on Twitch (link available in my Linktr.ee below).

With the unwavering support of God, my beautiful wife, and my daughters, I've taken the next step to create my own music. I give special thanks & appreciation to the few producers who have supported my growth, such as: Mike G, SluG (FL), DeeJay Shaolin and Dave Gluskin. You all supported and helped me when others wouldn’t. Thank you!

If you're interested in joining me on this musical journey, you can find all my socials on my Linktr.ee at the bottom of this page. I hope you enjoy the tunes and thank you for supporting PhoenixRising.
