Bio
Pronounced (ee-KIE-kah). Born in Hawaii, grew up between Hawaii and Chicago, and recently relocated to Las Vegas. I started DJing in the mid-80's; influenced by the birth of House Music and DJ culture in Chicago as well as East Coast Hip Hop turntablist/DJ godfathers.
My first club residencies were in Waikiki, Hawaii right out of high school in the late 80’s and my mixes were featured weekly on local radio. I was actually one of the first DJ’s to play House music in Hawaii clubs. I moved back to Chicago in the early 90's and competed & placed top 10 in a regional DMC battle, did live guest mixes on college radio (WNUR & WUIC), internet radio residency (Bassdrive.com), resident with Sit N Spin Productions Chicago, played a number of local & national raves, underground parties, & club events alongside notably talented artists such as Bad Boy Bill, Derrick Carter, LTJ Bukem & MC Conrad, and the Invisibl Skratch Piklz to name a few. Though my first love is and has always been House music, I also love Reggae & Jazz music- those influences are what drew me to Jungle/Drum & Bass and I built my reputation in Chicago’s Drum & Bass scene.
After taking a few years off, I’m here in Las Vegas focusing primarily on House music in the Chicago, Deep, Funky, Jazzy, Soulful vein and Tech-House. Currently I’m revisiting older projects, working on original music, and remixes/re-edits. I play regularly for Downtown Soul Thursday nights at the Downtown Cocktail Room, guest DJ sets around town, and I'm also part of an artist collective and nightlife promotion company called Unassociated Las Vegas; we resident DJ's and host monthly events at Millennium Fandom Bar (formerly The Lady Silvia) also located in downtown Las Vegas.
