Growing up on the South Side of Chicago, he began DJing at just 10 years old, inspired by pioneers like Ron Hardy, Frankie Knuckles, Lil Louis, and Green Velvet. By the early 1990s, Farris had become a staple of the city’s underground scene, spinning acid house and disco at warehouse parties and securing residencies at iconic venues like The Power House and the Boom Boom Room. He later expanded internationally with a four-year residency in Amsterdam at Jimmy Woo, spreading Chicago’s house sound across Europe.
