I Grew Up in Moments Marked by Music.
Before I ever touched a fader or cued a track, music was in the foundations of my home.
"I had been eyeing a DJ controller for over two years. One birthday, I decided to give myself the gift I'd been putting off.
The first day I unpacked it, I started playing around — beat matching, remixing, mashing up electronic tracks with gospel songs I'd carried in my memory for decades.
I looked up and it was 4 o'clock in the morning.
That was the moment. That was when I knew this was me."
What I Know About Sound
Here is something I learned young and have never been able to unlearn: what goes into our ears shapes what comes out of our lives.
Growing up, my parents got involved with Amway — and what came out of that season was a constant stream of personal development recordings. Zig Ziglar was on almost as often as Gospel and the Jazz Classics. The message was consistent: what you feed your mind matters. What you say out loud matters. The words you repeat become the story you live.
When my family moved to Georgia and joined a Word of Faith church, that conviction deepened. Their prescription was simple: keep the Word of God in your mouth, in your ears, and before your eyes. Guard what you let into your heart and mind.
I was a child, and I was paying attention.
Why Kairos
Kairos is a Greek word that describes a specific kind of time — not chronos, the ordinary ticking of a clock, but the appointed moment. The right moment. The moment pregnant with possibility and meaning.
It is the word used to describe the moment Jesus entered the world: "In the fullness of time, God sent forth His Son." That is Kairos — divine insertion into the ordinary flow of life.
My goal — at every event, in every set, with every transition — is to facilitate those Kairos moments. The ones where something shifts. The ones people remember. The ones where the music became more than music, even if only for a few seconds.
That is what this is for.
