Inspired by such national DJs as Fixx, Huda Hudia, Craze, Freaky Flow, Sharaz, Icey, and Baby Anne, this Cleveland native wanted to bring the Florida "Funk" up north. Damien not only mixes but scratches, adding a little twists to his performance. He has just the right combination to make the crowd go crazy. This results in every performance something worth seeing. Damien never leaves anyone disappointed with his aggressive mixing style and great track selection.

Back in late '97 and early '98, during his freshman year at college, Damien convinced his mom to buy him a pair of Numark TT-1's and a Gemini mixer. Being dedicated and open minded Damien began crafting his style. At Kent he was around tons of local influences that left their mark. Such DJs as 7Up, Ale Fillman, Evan Evolution, Rob Riddum, Groundzero, and other Kent/Akron DJs.

After being dedicated to the scene for about 4 years, Damien moved back to Cleveland and began perfecting his style. Having numerous residencies at bars and clubs throughout Cleveland such as B-Sides, ZaZa, Metropolis, Peabodys, and Wish. Now living his dream and rocking out venues in Cleveland, Damien wanted to give back and give the up and coming talent a chance. Damien began hosting open tables nights in 3 locations for about 2 years. This allowed Damien to meet new DJs in the area and connect with new projects. He then took his status one step higher and started doing promotions and brought in headliners like Adam F and Marques Wyatt.

As of late, Damien has began producing Florida Breaks tracks and has a new mix cd in the works. Damien has joined forces with Koala-Tea in early '04 and has some surprises in store for the future.
