Nobody at school played my kind of music, so I started DJing on campus anyway. Then came an office job, years of clubs and warehouses all over Chicago, and finally the first break.
01The office
I did accounting before any of this. In April LinkedIn and Spotify rebuilt the office for me as a party for the album, and this time I came ready to work.
02The Cove stage, by day
My first Ultra set was a daytime slot on the Cove stage in 2022. In March 2026 I closed out Ultra on the main stage.
03Lollapalooza, at home
I went to Lolla every year as a fan growing up. Fifteen years after my first one, I headlined it.

The label I started, now a radio show and a festival too
This year Experts Only meant Monday nights at UNVRS in Ibiza, our own stage at Tomorrowland, a camping weekend at the Gorge and 60,000 people at our festival in New York.
