His skills have originated from a totally different path. One that stems far beyond the U.S. and abroad. Traveling in and throughout some of the most favorite DC venues.

There is not too much to tell about this enigmatic soul. Transcending from the illustrious highland oasis of Yerevan Armenia. Gradient Descent sets are comprised of insatiable grooves minced with a divergence of weighted melodies, dampening kicks, seamless snares, along with visceral overtones with a touch of indigenous chants.
