DJ was born and raised in a small town in Canada.  A product of the music education system in the public schools sectors, DJ fell in love with the idea of performance and was enamoured by construction of musical ideas. 

In 2007 DJ began teaching guitar after years of study and private tutors and would go on to open the first idea of the Temple Music Academy in 2017. 

Now a husband and an avid Martial Artist, DJ enjoys spending his free time (snicker) between the mats, his motorcycle and his wife.
