What was your first thought when asked to participate in Dancing for the Arts?
I’ve always wanted to be in something like this, so I was kinda happy I was finally asked. It’s for sure an honor in my eyes!

What is your goal in this competition?
Well, I am a winner, so naturally I want to win and will do whatever it takes to do so, but overall I want to have a good time and give my all for a good cause. I'm all about building and making things better, so if I can bring whatever I have to the table to do so, count me in! 

Who will be your fan base?
The community I’ve built over the last few years through my nonprofit and music venue, as well as the people I’ve connected with throughout my DJ career.

What would you like to say to your competition?
Don’t hold back! Go all out because I’m leaving it all on the dance floor!!!

What would you like to say to your partner?
We got this… No doubt about it.

Any advice for your coach?
Push, push, push… I’m all about the wow factor and doing the most, so don’t hold back.
