Dynamic
What is the coolest place you’ve ever spun?

“I actually have two education degrees (B.S. in Special Education & MEd. in Curriculum and Instruction) but DJ full time!”
Intention in Curating Exercise Mixes
What do you do to create the perfect mix for classes, and what makes you stand out when creating mixes for a class environment?
“I think it’s important to be mindful of the genres and eras of music you are selecting. Not everyone likes hip hop, not everyone likes EDM, not everyone likes Top 40, etc. Having said that, choosing a diverse range of genres & eras is something I try to do with a majority of my mixes geared toward exercise. I believe this, along with quick mixing and cutting keeps the energy alive. Playing a whole track out can really drown the intensity of the environment.”
