Where to begin? I guess it would be 2020, looking for peace amongst the chaos of a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic. I was watching D-Nice do a livestream when he directed everyone to see Questlove do his first live stream. He kept doing the streams every night, and I kept falling in love, not with how he was mixing but with his passion and knowledge of music. Although I AM 50 years old, I decided to try mixing. I've loved DJing since I was a teen in Chicago, home of house music. Every Friday and Saturday night, I would listen to the Hot Mix 5 make magic with every record they had in their arsenal. Over time, I would record or later download mixes to listen to how they were able to blend, transition, or mash up songs. I loved how they could weave musical narratives, which was more or less a lesson on how to be an excellent DJ. I decided, in 2020, to teach myself how to DJ, and I started making mixes more or less for myself. One of my mixes, The Conquering Lion, is featured as a three-part mix on Nova Radio, the first part airing this past July. In addition to making mixes, I am a writer and finishing my bachelor's degree in psychology, so my life is diverse. It is good to be featured on this platform, and I promise each mix will be uniquely different from the last. Why did I name my show the Mars room? It's in honor of my little cousin AJ, who went by the rapper name JAYJAYONMars. He was, sadly, murdered in May of 2024. He loved music just as much as I did, so I wanted to show how much I miss him and love him by doing this show. Although I know this is primarily a place for house/techno/trance, I want to bring more of what I vibe with, in addition to my first love, house. Sit back, relax, and go on a trip with me through my musical mind. You won't be disappointed.
