As well as Dj Gorilla (Slpi-N-Slide Dj's). I've also done vou=ice overs for varios Myspace pagers and introductions. Ive also worked with a few internet websites, where I interviewd music artist and producers. My father actually was in the business of voice overs. He was the voice for the music television station THE BOX (Vh1) back in the 90's. He also did commercials for a popular seafood restaurant chain in Miami called Captain Crabs. Growing up he showed me the basics on the art of disguising ones voice.

Amongst that I'm also an R&B singer under Magic City Management. I attended a magnet high school where I was in the chorus/musical theater branch of the visual and performing arts academy. I also was a member of the schools morning announcement team back when I was in elementary and junior high.
