My sister tells me I used to pretend to be a DJ back when I was three years old when my dad would play music.

What inspired you to DJ?

My sister tells me I used to pretend to be a DJ back when I was three years old when my dad would play music. Seeing his records and all the people that used to come over and dance really used to captivate me. Later on in High School I had a guidance counsellor who was a DJ and the rest was history!

What is your favourite thing about Union Station?

My favourite thing is definitely the old architecture on the VIA rail side of the building. I feel like a time traveller walking through!

What’s something surprising about you that people may not know?

I secretly believe pineapples go on pizza :p
