He became entranced with DJing following a funk set he experienced at Burning Man several years ago.

Kellam is also the music director at Camp Trifucta where he books and manages a line up of over 70 DJs each year. Although Kellam has only recently stepped into the arena of the underground dance music scene in the past 5 years, he is no stranger to music. He toured for several years as a singer / songwriter, playing venues such as the famous House of Blues many times, in addition to countless bars, festivals and concert venues across the country. This has served him incredibly well in his transition to being a DJ. He has an truly polished ability to read and feed off the audience and really capture and shape the vibe of where ever he is DJing. This is part of the reason why his popularity amongst crowds and dance floors has exploded. At one point Kellam was DJing events and parties up to 6 nights a week around the North East. He has since scaled that back enormously to allow for more international bookings. He is still a regular at notable venues in NYC such as Marquee, and underground venues like New York’s infamous "Beef Cuts" playing along side DJs that include, DJ Tennis, Mano Le Tough, Matthias Meyer, Thugfucker, Corey Baker, Gregorythyme, Bedouin, Signal Flow, and many more.
