DJ Spider emerged from the Los Angeles club scene in 1996, building a reputation as a genre-spanning open-format DJ whose high-energy sets pull freely from EDM, house, techno, hip-hop, and classic soul. Raised in Los Angeles, he honed his craft on the city's club circuit before breaking out nationally on the strength of his blend-heavy, crowd-reading style.

His national profile took off after he won the prestigious Next on the Decks competition in 2006, opening the door to high-profile residencies and A-list bookings across the country. Since then, he has held court at marquee venues including Tao and Marquee in Las Vegas, The Fleur Room in Hollywood, and The Marquis in Park City.
