Layout Created at KillerKiwi.net Born in Benson Hurst Hospital Brooklyn New York. After turning 5 and moving to Queens, BLACK as a child had a special connection with music. In his 1st Year Of school, he and 4 friends Lead the singing group of over 75 other students in Kindergarten. Unbenounced to him, that would be start of his music career. P.S.36 was a school designed to enhance music and performing arts. there Black later moved on to playing musical instruments. after moving on to junior high school Black Joined an Orchestral Band Where he played as the lead on the drums for 3 straight years. Although it was rewarding mentally, it was not rewarding financially .. As did many other young boys in the hood Black began to sell drugs, but never left school, it was the connection between the 2 worlds that allowed Black to learn how important connections are, and it built business sense at a young age. Confirming what his Masters degree and PhD earning father had been giving him early advice on. This taught Black how to make money.. having new things and money to burn was great for any kid age 13 but very dangerous and strangely unfulfilling. Without music being involved in his life Black went through a short depression due to the sudden death of his Father, and the loss of friends from shooting deaths and jail sentences .. Although he had a much smoother operation, Black new his time would eventually come and As he grew .. so did his lust to return to music.
Black's music skills got him into a school outside of the hood. in bayside New York, where the pressures of having money as a teen was very socially important. but Black knew he had to get out of that game as fast as he could and also knew that playing drums and instruments was what he loved but didn’t cut it with the money .. Black found his way into DJing from being in the streets and hanging out real late .. Black then begun to take all his profits from selling weed and started buying records and equipment. the same popularity that got him known in the street was the same thing that Black used to get people at his parties and to get his mix tapes sold in the store and streets .. Black’s fame as a Dj comes from his sick Scratching ability and his seamless blend integration .. Black's Connections lead him to doing upscale weddings, Graduation and wedding parties, as well as many public/private college parties and several birthday parties .. being in these environments has allowed Black to enjoy the finer things at a young age and that kept Black in many different business ventures rather than deal with the financial ups and downs associated with the music biz.
Financially comfortable black found that he was going down the same road he was going down the 1st time he strayed from music .. And that was to a depressed dead end .. Still young, skilled, and sharp. Black feels that if he turns his back on his music, he would be making the mistake that will affect him for the rest of his life. Completely focused, Black has taken all his hustle (business) money and has made new technological upgrades to his studio and equipment, reconnected with many music/business partners, and friends who have been with him from the start. With Black’s skills, business mind, and determination, you can guarantee him a spot at the top .
