WHERE IS HE PLAYING? “I’ve got two residencies, one at the Beaconsfield (1154 Queen West, 416-516-2550) on Sundays, the other at the Chelsea Room (923 Dundas West, 416-364-0553) on Tuesdays with my friend Jon Friis . Also, on Saturday (June 9) I’m playing an NXNE party at the Drake (1150 Queen West, 416-531-5042) along with Johnny Hockin , Rory Them Finest , Jimmy Limit and Montreal’s Peer Pressure DJs . A slew of female party rappers are headlining. Check out www.moreproof.com for event announcements and hilarious YouTube videos.”
WHAT DOES HE PLAY? As he puts it, “Hits.” However, that doesn’t necessarily mean top 40. Basically, he plays party tunes — some underground, some not.

WHY IS HE DJING? “Had a bunch of friends encourage me to DJ because I have better taste in music than they do. So I tried DJing with Mikey Apples and Jaime Sin at Shack Up. Had a ton of fun and felt empowered by watching everyone lose their minds over my mixing train wrecks. Now I’m okay at mixing and don’t hate my job.”
