PERFORMERS

While most know of Struggle's enthusiasm for the eclectic bass heavy sounds of dubstep, what may not be known is that this DJ's first true love is house music. Spanning almost 20 years, this love began the night he heard a tape of a NY radio show featuring the likes of Marshall Jefferson, DJ Pierre, Lil Louis, and Adonis. From that point on his story is not a unique one. He, like many others, learned to build on his passions by mixing records and becoming a DJ. Through the years he has played many genres, but has always come back to house. Struggle believes, in it's pure form, house is a truly timeless music and there are always possibilities to move forward from there. He and D'Jeronimo collaborate as MADE LIKE A TREE, a DJ project that intends on showing Seattle a more soulful side of things.
