I’ve been drawn to underground sound since before I really knew what it was. As a kid, I’d tag along to sound checks at Cleveland’s late-night club scene, watching my parents spin records at places like Peabody’s and Metropolis. I didn’t fully get it back then, but the energy, the bass, and the way people moved to it all stuck with me. My own journey into music kicked off through video games — stuff like 1080º Snowboarding and old-school racing titles had soundtracks packed with breakbeats and jungle rhythms. Those pixelated, bass-heavy worlds planted the seed for what became a deep love of drum and bass, jungle, and anything that hits with grit and soul. These days, I’m exploring the other side of the decks, learning to mix and blend sets that pull from all corners of my musical taste — from DnB, UKG, and gabber to punk, metal, lo-fi, hip-hop, reggae, and ska. I’ve also spent time learning instruments like guitar, piano, ukulele, and percussion — always chasing rhythm in different forms. I’m not just about music either — I’m a lifelong fan of art and tech. I paint, I design, I build on the web. I earned a degree in computer science, which gives me another lens to look at sound and culture through — one that’s equal parts logic and creativity. At graveyardradio.net, I write about underground music because that’s what raised me. Whether it’s pulling apart the textures in a track, digging into the roots of a scene, or just celebrating a nasty drop — I’m here for it. Always have been.
