Background and More Info
After getting his first gigs spinning in the back room of the legendary Club 5, he was quickly adopted by the Revolution Productions crew and could be seen regularly at the drum n bass weekly event Protocol. Honing his skills and track selection, he went on to support some of the biggest names in drum n bass including Planet Of The Drums, World of Drum & Bass, Technical Itch, LTJ Bukem, IMANU, Aphrodite, Delta Heavy, Mob Tactics, Will Miles, Random Movement, and many more.
His performing background and musical influences range from jazz and hip hop to hard rock and heavy metal. As a result his sets can span the range of styles from deep liquid to the dark and subliminal. He often draws the “B sides” of the popular releases and tends to seek out the more obscure tracks that you may not have heard before. It’s all about flow and building a vibe, whether that’s on the dance floor or in a studio mix. He is also the keyboardist in a Jacksonville-based metal band, and he enjoys woodworking and amateur videography.
During his tenure as an event producer and promoter, Reflections has successfully curated several headliner events under the JaxDnB brand. Some of the top tier artists booked include Makoto, Fanu, NC-17, A Sides, Dave Owen, MC Fava In Session, Ben Soundscape, Collette Warren, and Impression. Since 2020 he’s partnered with Invasive Ceremonies to help organize and host a series of well-received monthly drum n bass events. Additionally he began hosting his own monthly JaxDnB takeover at Myth Nightclub in 2022.
