Born and raised in South Florida, Manwell began his DJ journey to share his love for dance music. As he delved deeper into the world of dance music, he discovered a profound connection with classic house, deep house, garage, and techno. Drawing heavy inspiration from the early 90s to mid 2000s Chicago, New York, and New Jersey house and garage scenes as well as the Detroit techno scene he began crafting his own unique sound. Manwell prioritizes and thrives in the long set format, often opting to play open to close to provide the crowd with a multi genre journey.
