DJ
House Of Scandanavia (SXSW 2019) Resident DJ for HOS during the interactive portion of Austin’s South By Southwest festival.
Second Sunday Sock Hop (2006-2017) Founder and DJ. SSSH was a 10+ year, monthly, all vinyl DJ'd dance party specializing in obscure 1950's/60's R&B, rock 'n roll, soul, garage, and many other genres. SSSH was hugely influential in the 00’s to the growing popularity of Soul based dance parties across the U.S. and saw many other nights spinning the same records as us, using our poster art style and using “sock hop” in the titles of their nights. Thank you for the compliments!
