At Outro Collective, I work at the intersection of music curation, A&R, DJ culture, and creative direction. I curate a global vinyl library, discover emerging artists and sounds from around the world, and develop music-focused projects, playlists, events, and content that connect artists with new audiences. As a DJ and producer, I bring this same curatorial approach to every set and project. My experience spans house, techno, melodic techno, Afro House, Latin, Brazilian, global sounds, hip-hop, and other electronic and underground styles. I specialize in creating sets that are carefully selected for the environment, audience, and energy of an event rather than simply playing a collection of tracks. Through Outro Collective, I have developed relationships with artists, producers, DJs, labels, promoters, and creative professionals while working on live events, artist showcases, interviews, mixes, vinyl projects, and promotional campaigns. My A&R background also gives me a strong understanding of how to discover music before it becomes widely known and how to build a cohesive musical identity around a project or brand. I also bring professional experience in creative direction and brand consulting, working with companies, athletes, musicians, and lifestyle brands on music curation, events, campaigns, and creative concepts. This allows me to approach DJ work from both an artistic and professional perspective. Whether you need a DJ mix, playlist, original production, event set, background music, or a customized sonic experience for your brand, I focus on delivering music that feels intentional, current, and memorable. My goal is to make every project sound distinctive while creating an experience that connects with the audience.
