About Me
Hey! My name is Terran. I'm a DJ & content creator from a town outside of Boston, MA. I have an unhealthy obsession with the art of DJing.
My DJ Journey
At 17, I went to my first music festival. It took less than a day for me to fall in love with the energy. So much that as soon as we got back I overpaid for an outdated DJ controller at Guitar Center.
One month and $500 later, I released my first DJ mix and got a great response! Soon after I would perform at my first live event in a tiny basement to a group friends.
By the time I earned my Bachelors in Business Marketing, I was lucky enough to share the stage with some of my idols.
Since then I have spent every waking moment working toward my dream.
That ambition has taken me to places I never expected.
My Favorite Part
It led me to travel Europe for 2 weeks with my friends. It led me to meet passionate creatives that inspire me every day. It led me to learn more about myself in one year than I have my whole life.

Terran on Social Media
In 2019 I started a Twitch livestream to play video games and DJ for a few hours every week.
In a few months it turned into a small community of about 12 people. As an introvert, it felt surreal to connect with people from around the world online. I thought, "this could be my future job".
At the same time, Instagram released their new Reels feature. One day I decided to post a stream clip online in the hopes that new people would tune in. This became my first DJ short.
Short form videos felt like a natural outlet for me. I enjoyed editing videos and began studying creators across each platform.
I then proceeded to post 2-5x per week for 3 years straight...
The Definition of Terraform
[ter-uh-fawrm]
The verb "Terraform" is the process of altering the surface of a planet so that it is more suitable for human life.
My government name and DJ alias, Terran, refers to anything of or pertaining to the planet Earth. It more often appears in science fiction context as the term for a person from Earth.
"Terra" is the Latin word for earth or land, while the suffix "an" means relating to or belonging to.
Terraform started as an extension of my identity. I wanted to push the boundaries of DJing, and riddim dubstep became my outlet.
Today it represents everything I have learned about music, art, business, and community.
Now my goal is to build a sustainable career in the music industry by sharing that passion with as many people as possible.
