MEET YOUR
INSTRUCTOR
As DJ, musician, and producer, I've toured the world, performed for millions of people in 36 countries, including touring with Madonna. I've created music for Shakira, Rihanna, Linkin Park, and Cirque Du Soleil. I've been blessed to live my dream as a performer and creator.
As an educator, I'm living my second dream. Every week, I teach kids and teens from all parts of the U.S.A. (and sometimes beyond) how to make their own music.
It's my honor and pleasure to help young people everywhere discover their musical talents and help them start their musical journeys.
Thank you for joining me on this amazing ride!
