What inspired you to DJ?

Not being graced with the ability to naturally sing, despite wanting to since I was a child, and also having to quit guitar due to a birth defect, I wanted to be involved in music in whatever way I could be. Music has always been a passion and driving force in my life.

What is on your playlist right now?

I’ve randomly been into old canadian bops, Ghost – Fefe Dobson, Fantasy – Shawn Desman. I mostly listen to specific hertz frequecies as I’ve been on my healing journey, helps the anxiety.

What’s your favourite thing about Union Station?

Since highschool I’ve always loved the artwork on the TTC platform, as well as the access to the bus to Montreal!

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

I’m Anishinaabe!
