From humble beginnings in 1999 opening up for The Nature Kids at Liquid Cellar in Orlando, Florida (with his homie Tripone and a DJ named DIPLOdacus), he spent the next years playing and promoting shows in and around that city, building up the scene surrounded by comrades like Swamburger and DJ SPS. More recently Bleubird appeared in Urb’s 2008 “Next 100” list. During his tenure in Montreal, he could be found rocking TurboCrunk parties with Subtitle and Megasoid. Alternatively, during that time he was a regular at Moondata Labprojects sessions,
