Hey there guys.
My name is Robert Morris, but my friends call me Robbie.

Since I was a kid I've always had a passion for music, I played piano as a toddler, trumpet in elementary school, and went on to practice guitar in middle school for a short period; using my old fender stratocaster.
However nothing really stuck. I had music I enjoyed, but hadn't discovered any genre or instrument that called to me.

That's when House Music hit me in Highschool. Sophomore year, I remember watching an Ultra Music Festival liveset from Hardwell on Youtube.
Something, clicked. I didn't just want to do what he was, I needed to,
The hypnotic kick paterns, the vibe of the audience, and just something about dance music in general... felt right.
I've always wanted to make people smile around me for as long as I can remember, like music has always done for me.
As of the past few months, my current DJ Controller (Numark NVII) which I have had an amazing past 3 years using, has started giving out on me. (I cant pre-cue, none of the 4 channel faders work, the left play/cue buttons are broken, etc.)
I don't go out very often, the past couple years of the pandemic have turned me into an agoraphobe to an extent. I don't play very many video games. I don't have a lot of friends.
Aside from my new cat, I spend up to 8 hours A DAY DJing. It's quite literally one of the things on this planet that satisfy me the most.
Like I said before, I also like seeing people dancing and enjoying themselves, it makes me happy.
So, for whoever is generous enough, your donation will go towards replacing my current deteriorating Numark NV Controller, with a club grade, durable, new Pioneer DDJ-1000 (w/flight protection case).

My goal is to play EDC Las Vegas, Ultra Miami, or any other large festival by next year.
That would be a dream come true.

Help me help others have an amazing night!
