Influences: Respect to the OG 1580 KDAY Mixmasters - Tony G, Julio G, Hamburger Helper (hazze), M-Walk, Craig Mack and the Mack Attack - plus Jesse Torrero "The Brown-Beauty's-on- Duty" broadcasting live from the Casa Camino Real!! - My Nino Steve Jaramillo from Sunrize for the mixtape inspiration, listening to him mix music was the spark... My man Dj Joe Future for buying that old ass Numark mixer with the wooden trim that fueled the flame with my DJing. My brotha Isaac "Big Sok One" Jaramillo for always bumping KROQ in the mornings on the way to school (with Richard Blade & The Poorman in the mormnings, oh, and for always letting me borrow his turntables to practice!).
To the City Of Compton for the "street smarts" and "hustler mentality" that got me to the top of the DJ food chain! My Mom and family (cousins) for having my back with this DJ career and always showing up to the clubs to represent!
To DJ Chill from 1580 KDAY aka Mr. Flashback - for teaching me the ways of the multi-track recorder!! To Dr. Sisko and Alex I. for giving me my "big break", putting my name of my first flyer and letting me throw down at that ole' rave wherehouse "Wilmington & Randolph"...meberr, u memberrrr!! (suadehead!!!)
To my best bud DJ Dave Jams for keeping me motivated, also up to point with the club contacts (dave was myspace when there was none, he knew everybody!! haha) & hooking me up with rare nu-wave vinyl he jacked from the radio station!! To DJ Michael Trance for bringing me into the 21st century and introducing me to some awesome Pro Music Software & forcing to me to "just get a MAC bizznatch!!". To Andy Manzo for keeping me booked, giving me a place to stay & keeping me on-point thru my "mid life crisis"! lol...
To all the party, nightclub, & rave promoters that recognized the "skillz" and hired me for all your events; I thank you, I am eternally grateful to you. (Latin Underground-B.O.S.S.-Havoc Family-GusN'Phantom just to name a few...))
