Rob says he was inspired by the look and style of artist like The Fat Boys and Run DMC from the early days of hip hop.In 1989 Rob Quest began to lose his sight due to a rare health condition. Because he started losing his site, he couldn't spend time riding bicycles, playing outside or doing things "normal" kids do, Rob Quest started rapping and producing beats seriously after his mom bought him his first drum machine in 1989.He started working on drum machines and perfecting his craft on the Yamaha RX 5 and later on he got the RX 7, the drum machines of choice during this time period.In 1990, Rob Quest met and befriended Devin The Dude at a TSU kids jam contest hosted by Kurtis Blow, with King Tee in the audience in 1989.
