Desde criança sempre gostei de musica todos os generos, quando tinha meus 7 anos, tinha um rádio a pilha, escutava todos os dias, o dia inteiro e na hora de ir dormir, pegava meu fone, deitava, e dormia escutando musica, ai com o tempo fui cada vez mais gostando de musica, e assim fui ouvindo. Anos se passaram até que um dia, escutei Skazi, I wish, cara que música era aquela, só escutava aquela, e assim foi indo ao passar dos anos. Dai pra frente meu sonho era ser Dj. Conheci um amigo Carlos Eduardo Moraes (KADU), que tinha o mesmo sonho que o meu, nossa amizade só aumentava, e queriamos realizar esse nosso sonho de ser Dj, de viver da musica, pois tinhamos um amor enorme pela musica. Ai que começamos a fazer festas na casa dele, usamos o Virtual dj haha.

Ele comprou um par de cdj 200 e um mixer, ele me ensinou a usar a cdj. e nossas festinhas eram sempre as melhores. E por ai foi, até que chegou um dia eu penssei, cara eu preciso fazer essas musica, n quero mais ficar tocando musica dos outro. e aos 21 anos, decidi fazer curso de produção musical, que venho me dedicando até hoje, em estudos para fazer o melhor.
