He’s worked with a wide variety of musicians; from acclaimed cellists to the latest hot pop groups, eclectic­-indie-­worldbeat musicians, and many of the world’s favorite top DJs.

VJ Kinotropy made his bones in Vancouver, starting out in cafes, progressing to the clubs, and then moving onto international venues around the world. A fixture at legendary parties like Burning Man & Shambhala, lately he has been summoned to perform at New York’s Electric Zoo, southern California’s Nocturnal Wonderland, Digital Dreams in Toronto and Chicago’s Wavefest.
