I started DJing in Los Angeles, by accident, back in 2017 at parties for my film school where hundreds of folks would show up. But let me backtrack…

I fell in love with music when I was 11. While a few short years later I started to make films, my loves for both music and cinema have always informed each other, and always will.

I DJ’d throughout Los Angeles from 2017-2024 and shared the music that I love, appreciate, and admire, and became known for being both a crowd pleaser and a taste-maker. I have since scaled back on DJing, but if you want to consider me to spin at either a public or private event, feel free to get in touch. I DJ as henawicked – my old AIM screenname.
