For your consideration: Best Newcomer DJ (under two years) @gaggyawards

Last year I was let go from my corporate job and decided it was now or never, so I put my whole being into DJing, and less than a year after my first public gig, the progress I’ve made is still sometimes hard for me to believe. I’m not usually very good at tooting my own horn, but I’m really proud of myself for everything I’ve accomplished thus far, and it still feels like I’m just getting started!

I would be so honored and grateful to be recognized at the 2026 Gaggy Awards, so if you’ve enjoyed what I’ve done over the last year, and since Fuzziest DJ isn’t a category (yet), please consider nominating me for Best Newcomer DJ when nominations open up this Wednesday 9/23! Thank you all! ❤️🐙 taken in Chicago, Illinois by @knocktopuss

Market Days 2026 was such a wild ride! Didn’t get nearly as many pics/videos as I’d hoped, but thanks to everyone who came out and danced. See you all next time ❤️

The gay high holidays are nearly upon us! Here’s a quick cheat sheet of where to find me for Market Days weekend, and a brief description of the vibe cuz each of these is going to be a little bit of a different energy. Rest up, stay hydrated, be safe, look out for one another, and have fun! I’ll see you on the dance floor #marketdays #chicago #dj #gaydj #gaychicago taken in Chicago Market Days by @knocktopuss

Had so much fun DJing Sunday Funday at @thesplashchicago yesterday, and escaped with very minimal tank top tan lines! ☀️
