So, I started creating content about house music festivals in Chicago and beyond.
Initially, I began creating social media content centered around house music events in Chicago, particularly focusing on Arc Music Festival. The real turning point came when I successfully pitched to the festival giant Insomniac, landing an opportunity to interview artists at their upcoming EDC in 2022.
This experience was a revelation—it ignited the idea that I could do more than just participate; I could lead and innovate. Witnessing firsthand how my DJ friends struggled to balance their creative passions with the demands of the music business, I realized I could leverage my skills to make a significant difference.
This insight led to the creation of Elevated Frequencies, a platform designed to bridge the gap between artistic expression and business acumen in the house music scene.

How Chicago’s house music scene inspired the next iteration of my career.
Born in the vibrant underground clubs of Chicago, house music is a revolutionary genre that has deeply influenced the global music landscape. Originating in the early 1980s, house music emerged as a powerful cultural expression, blending elements of funk, soul, hip-hop, gospel, and electronic syntheses.
Even as dance music captivates audiences worldwide, Chicago steadfastly holds its ground as the undeniable cradle of house music—a timeless badge of honor that remains uniquely ours.
Growing up in Chicago, I was surrounded by house music from a young age, moving to tracks like "Show Me Love" by Robin S and "Gypsy Woman" by Crystal Waters in my parents' garage. This music has been a constant in my life, and as I grew older, I developed a deep appreciation for the genre and its roots.
As a lifelong fan, I felt a strong desire to be more deeply involved in the scene. I started thinking about how I could contribute my unique skills to the community that has given me so much joy.
