At his residencies throughout New York, he curates soulful, cross-genre sets blending classic tracks with modern vocal motifs. His respect for electronic music as a category borne from Black, Latin and LGBTQ+ culture is apparent in his eclectic DJing style, in which he aims to pay homage to the roots of dance music.
