Bio:

The story of Impact begin's in Sept 1992. Having a musical background all his life, he
got intrigued with hip hop DJ's at an early age and new right away this was the path for
him!

Organizing some small private dance and hip hop parties from day one made him a very
Dedicated, resourceful, and hard working DJ/Promoter. After many of these small events,
he felt it was time to expand his events and chose to open them to the public. Very much
involved in non profit organizations, he started to organize fund raisers for places like
Foyer Notre Damn Group home, Action Center for Youth, and EYES Enterprising Youth Exchange
Program. Gaining more and more Knowledge with how things worked, and meeting more and more
DJ's his need to expand grew even bigger!

In 1994 Impact joined forces with some friends to make a company called Teen Spirit
Productions. These were all aged dance and hip hop parties. However they're idea faded
quickly due to lack of support for the events at this time. Continuously thinking of what
could be done next, Impact chose to hide himself away for a few years and spend his time
improving his mixing and scratching skills.

Late 1997. The time had come for him to break loose! He would leave his mark on as many
people as he could! He began to search for a new Production name for planned upcoming
events. What he came up with was Celestial Productions. Also at this time, his preference
in music was changing. He was becoming more Electronic Orientated. However he kept
plugging away with the hip hop scene.

Early 1998 he was the special guest DJ at an up and coming hip hop night held by
stateside Productions. Having Ram packed the dance floor he blew them all away and was
immediately offered a club residency! Playing Many Many hip hop events for this company.
He then found the time had come for him to release his new preferred style on Sudbury.

Impact had attended and helped run a few nights that had fallen under the
"Rave" category, but the support for these events was extremely small! However,
something told him to try his own anyways! So for his first time under the name Celestial
Productions Impact threw his first Electronic event called Celestial Destination. This
event was a great success! It made Impact realize that this was his calling. It would only
get better from here!

Still ongoing with his hip hop residency in 1999 Impact was asked to enter the Northern
Ontario DJ Skills Competition hosted by Much Music's Master T. Impact's new love for the
electronic music pushed him to play a set of funky breaks in a hip hop competition. This
surprised everyone! Quick mixing and tones of scratching got him the highest points in
crowd reaction and placed him 3rd overall.

The Year 2000! Impact felt he wanted to play more then just in Sudbury. Calling on some
friends he got himself booked in North Bay for an event called Groove Reactor. This crowd
went nuts for his set! The word started to spread in that fresh new scene about this DJ.
Back in Sudbury Impact joined forces with another friend to bring a new night that gave
the Sudbury rave scene a huge boost! Events that once pulled in 100 people were now
pulling 500! At this time Impact still as Celestial Productions teamed up with Swerb to
bring Sudbury an AMAZING Valentines day event called Momentium with headliner Marty Mcfly.
With another success under his belt, he planned his next moves!

Impact's choice was to join his friend once again at a new spot that his friend had
already up and running called Scooters. Enjoying his residency, once again Impact
continued to get booking from the North Bay Side! Playing Groove Reactor 4 and Universal
Rhythms Vol 2 and Black and White.

Around this time, Impact met a bar DJ who was also transforming his tastes into the
Electronic scene. These 2 quickly became best friends. They came up with the name DJ
Oystrixxx and started talking about being partners in a new company that would defiantly
let it's presence be known! And on that day they created Jitter Jaw Productions! Plans
begun and these two through there first party together called Adrenaline Rush. The
response they got was AMAZING and they knew right then and there that this team was
unstoppable.

After a few parties thrown by the new up and coming company, they teamed up with
Hollywood Production to throw an event in North Bay called Trip "2" Nite.
Another large turn out and great vibe! Impact also met up with Funkstate's DJ brain
landing him more bookings in Lyndsay, and peterborough. He has since also played in
Oshawa at a local club night.

In late 2000, Impact moved to Ottawa and got his first booking in Toronto (Bangin) by a
company called Nightmare Productions. Extremely hyped he played his Toronto debut with
passion and excitement leading him to get many more Toronto bookings! He hooked up with
other great companies like Purple Heaven, 416, Scratch & Sniff, Dark Knight Productions,
Brickhouse Entertainement, Dynamic Force, Decible Productions, Highwire Productions,
Impulse Records (UK) and FBI Studio's (UK). He has since thrown one Jitter Jaw event in
Toronto 3 successfull events in Ottawa, as well as organizing a weekly club night. He
has devistated dance floors in Montreal as well as teaming up for 2 4 table 2 mixer tag
sets with the likes of DJ Nutron and DJ Mad, both well respected DJ's in the Montreal
Scene.

Impact has since moved to Oshawa Ontario where he now resides and took a small break
from the scene as we know. Getting ready to throw himself back into gear, this DJ will
no doubt bring a high energy Hard Trance and Hard Nu Nrg set with tones of tricks and
scratching.
