The story of how I started dj'ing.

2007-2008: I moved to San Diego and that is when I got exposed to so much West coast music; especially remixes. I began to mess around with basic mixing software and started making random mixes.

2009: I moved back to Kansas City and had the opportunity to study abroad in Barcelona, Spain. I was overwhelmed with the dance music scene out there. It was amazing and I fully embraced it and submerged myself in it. The time I spent there changed my life forever. Unfortunately, when I came back from Barcelona I contracted Mono and I was out of commission for a month. My sister bought me a very basic audio mixer to help me pass the time and I never looked back.

2009-2010: At this point I had gotten the hang of basic mixing and my roommate at the time Deep Singh was mastering the Dholi (Indian Drum). With the help of parental investors we got together and decided to form DK Productions. We had the equipment and we hit the streets to market the brand. Soon after we started getting our first gigs, and from there the rest was history. This was the time when I chose the name Dj eKleCtic.

2011-2013: More DK. With each event we got better and better. Together Deep and I would bounce ideas off each other and integrate them into our sets. I also started working on my own club gig/events and started really getting the eKleCtic name out there.

2014-2017: I decided to leave Kansas City and move to Seattle. The first year in Seattle I was going to concerts left and right: hip hop, edm, trap, etc. You name it and I was there. I was taking it all in, gaining influence on how to build a set and captivate a crowd. These years were spent mainly in the studio perfecting my craft and working on mixes to share with the world. During this time I was doing a lot of pre-made mixes for friends and old customers back in KC.

2018: I decided to retire Dj eKleCtic and rebrand as DJ KP. It is like Kobe going from 8 to 24. I am a different person with a much different approach to how I dj now. I have been influenced by so many artists in the last 9 years and collectively I have shaped my own style.
