VIP DJ’s

La Crosse, Rochester, Winona, Wausau, Madison, Chicago, Green Bay

I began this journey as a DJ at Medusa’s in Chicago, at the time, the only all ages dance club in the city limits, while I was working at the Record Exchange with 2 of the best Alternative Dance DJ’s in the City, Leroy and Wilbur. They mentored me for several years and guided me as I made the move into the downtown Chicago club scene, even to this day, Leroy and I chat regularly. Sadly, Wilbur left us several years ago, but, will always be in our hearts. 

Someone recently said, you just like music, and well, so long as it’s good, I’ve come to believe they’re right, and I look forward to getting new music, looking for music that fits my sound and style of DJ nights, not to mention, working with couples on their wedding requests is really one of my favorite things. I’ve actually come across songs couples want that have made it into my regular sets. So yes, I do Love Music. From Chicago house, to Step, to punk and metal, country and bluegrass, there’s really not a genre of music I don’t enjoy. 

My love of music has led me down this path I’ve embarked on, from DJ’ing all over the Midwest, to playing the Vans Warped Tour, and even playing upright bass in the Chicago based bluegrass band, The Mudflapps. Music has always been the driving passion in my life. I honestly cannot remember a time in my life that music hasn’t been the constant. As I sit here writing this out now, I can still remember being maybe 3 or 4 years old, and once a week, waiting for my dad to bring me home the 45’s that were getting taken off of the Juke in his bar, and then spinning them on my lil kids 45 player. The Spinners, Earth wind and Fire, Jah Wobble, Boz Scaggs, yeah, I still really love that era of music, as good music has no expiration date, and to me, it’s all about the music.  

After starting back as a DJ full time in the La Crosse Market, I’ve been blessed to be able to work at some of the coolest places with some super cool folks. From the venues I’ve been at to working with some great organizations, it’s honestly been a dream come true. It’s given me time to hang with Mira, and dive head first into something I’ve fallen in love with doing. I’d like to think it shows. Being Nominated for the top DJ honors in La Crosse every year I’ve been a DJ here, and finishing in the winners circle for two years running, leaves me with goose bumps every time I think about it, and feel very fortunate that people do in fact enjoy what I do.

For me being a DJ is not a hobby. I spend countless hours working on my craft, booking, promotions, downloading music, as well as behind my decks. Basically, if I’m not with my daughter, I’m DJing or working on DJ related tasks, and there are even exceptions to that, as I try to DJ at as many functions that I can bring her with, and my daughter is one incredible roadie.

If you would like to catch me live, I am presently a resident DJ at Animal House, and the Driftless Arcade in La Crosse, Stadium View in Green Bay, Nightschool in Wausau, Lucky’s in Winona, Whiskey River – West Salem, City Sounds – Prairie Du Chien. Previously, I’ve been fortunate to DJ at some phenomenal places, from POETS, Mothers, and The Hang Upp in downtown Chicago, to Dooley’s and Legends in Rochester, and more, as I’ve been DJ’ing since I got my start 1989.
