Thank You

As much as I've always complained about how I hate Wilsonville and all the people in it, without them I can honestly say I wouldn't be where I am. They helped my passion for music grow and grow. From the moment I started DJing the people in this town were behind me. I still remember the first dance party we through very clearly. Ashley even has the pictures. She was at almost every little Dance Party taking pictures.

We were at a football game my Junior year and it was twords the end of the game when the first Dance Party was brought up. We were losing or something and I was talking to Sarah. She some how knew I had been DJing and she randomly joked about throwing a Dance Party after the game. We tossed around the idea back and fourth then we got serious and the next thing I knew we were up at Bryan's barn and I was spinning on my old iDJ. We ended up having a great turn out and Ashley showed up taking pictures. We used these shitty speakers and a strobe light it was sooo damn ghetto but it was awesome. I remember being so nervous before but then when I saw every one moving I felt incredible. You get this big adrenaline rush and nothing else matters. You all the sudden have this connection between you and the crowd through the music and its the best feeling. It was after this night that I knew I wanted to do it forever.

We threw more Dance Parties where ever we could. Eventually people from West Linn came and friends from Hillsboro came. Eventually more and more people would show up. There were some ups and downs at some. Like people being way to fucked up and throwing up but that got sorted out hahaha. I would play rap every once in a while just to please the people even though my passion was the dirty dirty house music. I eventually managed to train all of Wilsonville to LOVE house music and dubstep so thats all I would have to play. They suddenly believed in the music like I did.

In January of my senior year my friend Geoff came to me for and idea for his senior project. He wanted to throw a giant DP at a real club. I was down immediately. We started promoting it like 2 or so months ahead of time on FB. Geoff made these giant posters of me and hung them up around his high school and mine. I would periodically check the FB page we made for it and the list of people attending just kept rising till it was around 400 or so. I was speechless. So when the big day came around I got there with my little iDj and iPod and started setting up. Did sound check the whole deal. I became insanely nervous. This was (and still) this biggest crowed I've played for. We open the doors and people started pouring in. We maxed out the club in an hour. There was about 600 people that made it in. We had to turn away about 150 people because we were way over capacity. That night was amazing. I got to play dubstep and house and it went over well. Really well. I of course played some hip hop and it was awesome. I will never forget that night.

I owe my friends everything. Without their support I really wouldn't be where I am today. Because of them I believe in myself more than I ever have. This move to Vegas will really test my passion and I plan on giving it everything I have. Thank you. I love you all.
