DJ Doubledown Tandino: Living the Dream!

Following RikRiel’s lead, allow me to present to you one of my fine SL buds:

DD, as SL’ers tend to call him, is actually Brad Reason, a professional DJ out of Baltimore, Maryland (USA).  You may have seen his blog listed in my blogroll – if not, it’s a great read as DD spends a ton of time following the SL music scene which he influences so much.

Yesterday, DD  announced that he was taking the plunge – he’s dropping his “real life” work entirely and is going to make a living in SL exclusively.  It’s a brave move indeed….but few SL’ers are better equipped to make the jump than DD.  He is one of SL’s most talented DJ’s, playing his unique funky house beats to audiences all over the grid.  His promotion to play ANY art gallery opening for free has endeared him to SL’s large artist community; he is the DJ of choice in the art world!

For those who are interested in DD’s many, MANY capabilities, take a look after the fold.  Best of luck, DD!  You’re living the dream of many a SL resident!

Hello Friends,

As some of you know, I decided to leave my RL job, & by July I will be in Second Life full time.
And…..As you all know, I love creative events and I always jump at the chance to do something collaborative and cool.   I am always interested in creating possibilities.   So I wanted to put myself out there to you, before the SL masses.    I wanted to send this notecard to you in case you knew some of what I do, but not everything.  Please keep me in mind for any upcoming projects you may be working on.

Thank you
Doubledown
