DJing hip hop since 98’, been listening to it since 87’. After years of DJing bars and clubs, and working endless restaurant jobs, VALIS ended up in Savannah, GA, where he was stationed as a US Army Ranger. From 2002 through 2005, He was deployed and redeployed over 6 times, leaving him with very little time to DJ and get into the music scene. With the little time that was available, he was able to meet DJ LIFE, ZONE D, KNIFE, BLUE COLLAR, BASIK LEE, RIGHTEOUS, and many others. After many late nights and playing together for a while the group became close and was getting better by the week. After The Last Deployment overseas, VALIS decided to leave the Army in an attempt to lead his new hip hop team. VALIS books shows/tours, promotes, plans parties, handles artist management, and DJ’s for the group (Dope Sandwich). Appeared on: “The Walking Sick” DSP 06, “LP=EP” DSP 07, “2000 Yard Stare” DSP 07
