In 1st grade I knew that I wanted to make music.. Ever since then, I have been fighting for what I have always wanted.. I went through 7 years of classical piano and I always got in trouble because I kept making my own songs instead of practicing my lessons..I had sax lessons(not sex!!) and was in the marching band in Junior High..I just wanted to go to Great America.. It also didn't help that our band teacher was hot!! When I was 11, I started dj'in...I used to get in trouble because I kept scratchin with my mom's Motown records..In retrospect, I guess that was really bad..In High School, I was part of a Straight X Edge/Punk Rock/Hardcore band with a bunch of kids I spent skateboardin' and terrorizing the neighborhood with..I spent 8 years of my life skate'n with these guys..Around 90 I started messing around with keyboards and samplers..Then in 91' I met K.P. and we started up a group which manifested into what is known these days as The Pacifics..Then in 93 thru maybe 96 or 97 (A lil Hazy too many drugs!)I was dj'in at Raves all over with my partner in crime Justin Long (JDC for LIFE)We used to do a 4 turntable set..One time Justin, Halo, and I did a 5 turntable set..That shit was fun!! I got to travel all over and party in so many cities..My most memorable experience was in Barcelona, Spain..I rocked it out 2 hours for a crowd that didn't even understand English..There was a language barrier that was broken with just music!! Music will set you free I say!! After a while I was just burnt out of the party scene so I had to give it all up...I'm so happy for all the DJ's and Producers that I have met at that time period that are still doin' their thing.. But, I just couldn't take the scene anymore..At least I got to witness History happen..Those days will never come back...After a while it took it's toll on me..So, I ended up going back to my first love..HIP HOP!! At that time Pacifics was doin they thing and I was back spinnin at lounges and smaller functions like the old Liquid Kitty.(the one with the movie theater) I miss that joint..In 98, I started up 606 Tuesdays @ Subterranean.. Chicago's longest running Hip Hop Open Mic Weekly.. years later, 606 is Chicago Hip Hop's main staple of weekly regiments.. Emcees from all over come to spit rhymes and get their respect..That a lil about me in a nut shell... SO SEE DEEZ NUTZ!!! Anyways, I love to laugh and fuck around... Peeps need to lighten up a lil.. Go get yo Blunt and Burn Baby Burn!! I love to take pictures of beautiful places, beautiful things, and beautiful woman YES!! I love photography!! Can I take a picture of you...??
