About DJ Samfx

Early signs of creativity
For as long as I can remember, I have been musically inclined. At age six I joined my school's recital, playing the piano for the very first time. At age eleven I was hand picked from my entire school to take part in a 2 week music production program. There I was able to create four different musical pieces (which I still have!). In high school I began making mixes using a combination of VHS, CD, and tape cassettes, obsessing over timing and energy to make it perfect. How? I really couldn't tell you now. Shortly after, I took up the drums and formed a band with one of my closest friends. This cemented my passion and love for music. Why? Because I was able to do it all (and more) with absolutely no musical training whatsoever. Song after song my mind and my body simply remembered patterns and sequences. I practiced plenty, but also knew that there was something special happening.. and I wanted more.

leap of faith
By 2008 I was fully invested in the idea of music as a living, so I decided to purchase the highest quality DJ gear on the market and practice until I was good enough to play for my friends. I started out at house parties and pool parties, which were amazing fun with A LOT of learning! Finally after 6 years of building the courage, I gave in to my passion fully and vacated my position at the bank for the life of a DJ. 
Since then I have been absolutely blessed to do what I love and spread that joy with the rest of the world. Thanks to people just like you I have been a memorable part of many weddings, corporate functions, charity fundraisers, school events and more! Not to mention I have been honoured to play at some of Vancouver's most well-known venues (Telus World of Science, Shangri-La Hotel and The Commodore Ballroom to only name a few).
At this point I am living proof that you can do anything you set your mind to. 

goals and values
As a person, my goals in life are fairly simple - be healthy, be happy and be grateful. Basically to be the best version of myself that I possibly can, while giving back as much I can.
As a DJ, my goals are genuinely the same. I am constantly striving to make each performance better than my last, and to take you on a journey with me as I do it. Story telling is a big part of what I do, but I can't tell a story without a cast. Together you and I, along with your guests, can write the story of a lifetime.
