DJ Work and Music Production
Erich has always had a strong attraction to electronic music, collecting and curating playlists of house, techno, bass and electro music. In his college life, he began creating music on GarageBand, experimenting with different sounds and vocals. He hopes to release some of his work by the end of 2025.
​
Over the summer of 2024, he purchased his first controller and speakers and began stringing music together to create sets for his friends. After playing a few house parties, Erich started uploading his work to his Soundcloud under his DJ name, DJ MarquiXXX. The name is a play on his French Canadian mother's maiden name, Marquis, which he has always loved.
​
Now that he has his footing, Erich is looking for work as a DJ locally and would love to make a small name for himself. Take a listen below to some of his work and stay tuned as he has some planned gigs in the near future!
