I went to my first Rave in 1995, ‘ZEN Fest’ at the Central Florida Fairgrounds in Orlando Florida. I was also a spiritual-adviser/producer for the show, and had the honor to Interview Timothy Leary in his west-coast abode, we pre-recorded a special video message to playback at Zen Fest. That evening was full-on ecstatic bliss, while waiting to share Timothy Leary’s message with the crowd, I saw “Rabbit in the Moon” perform live for the first time. I was completely mesmerized by their Visuals on the multiple screens, and noticed how captivated the audience was to the whole experience. A that very moment I knew exactly that's what I wanted to do, to Trigger and Provoke Thoughts through Visual Messages, to be a Pixel-Light Conductor, and shed Visual Awareness. A few years later (with some research and self-taught) I was able to gather enough $ for equipment and started VJing, in the beginning mostly at underground warehouse parties. Completely fell in love with the art of visual mixing, never knew I would make career of it, and from so much fun. I performed live visuals alongside hundreds of top 100 DJ’s since 2004. As far as bands, I worked with 'Jane’s Addiction' on their 'NIN/JA ’09 Tour', I also worked with Tommy Lee on the ‘KISS/Mötley Crüe 2012 Tour’, I created custom Visuals for the ‘360 DrumCoaster ride’ which was featured nightly during his drum-solo on their World Tour. I’ve also worked/VJ’ed with Infected Mushroom, on many shows throughout Mexico, and the US. Cooperations: We’ve performed together at Ultra Music Fest, and frequently through out clubs in Miami. Light Pushers unite! Psybervision is the name of my company, so Psyberpixie spawned by nature I would like to see more Designs with LED screen technology, Robotics of sort that can change/morph into 3 dimensional shapes. More Flexible LED screens, and Holographic Technology to be more feasible and accessible to experiment with. I performed Reiki on a musician while on a tour bus heading to the hospital, he jumped off a Bass-bin while singing (he tore a small ligament on his ankle) It wasn’t amusing.. But he was fine and kept us amused since everyone was panicking..the show must go on! Backstage on the KISS/Mötley Crüe Tour, (WPB) my sister and I were waiting to preview my work, and we see KISS walking in a very serious line heading towards the stage, in full make up, looking like Rockstar Aliens more than 7 feet tall, Gene Simmons decides to pick me up like a doll and (jokingly) pin me on the wall (these were times before Insta Feeds/ TicToc/ Virtual shares..could of been viral I started mixing on (2) Pioneer DVJ’s 1000’s, an Edirol V-4 Video Mixer (later with the Edirol V-4EX) plus a Mac laptop and several Midi controllers. Back in the day, I created Visual DVD’s with all sorts of eye candy footage and re-mixed them live using the V-4 effects, and patched in other video sources like live cameras, and laptops using Arkaos and Resolume triggering visual loops and video samples with Midi controllers. It was too much to carry, 3 pelican cases, plus laptop bag etc. Although always had friends that would help me in exchange of back stage passes :) I downsized to just a Laptop and Midi Controller, and portable hard drives with terabytes of content Cosmic-Gratitude
