About Me
MY MUSICIAN BIO STARTED BACK IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, I GREW UP LISTENING TO A LOCAL RADIO STATION IN THE BAY AREA. I HEARD THE DJ'S PLAYING THE MUSIC, SCRATCHING, JUGGLING AND SO ON. I THOUGHT WAS ONE OF THE COOLEST THINGS EVER. GETTING INTO IT I GREW UP WITH FRIENDS WITH THE SAME IDEA. ONE OF THE DJ'S THAT REALLY HAD THE SAME PLAN AND FUTURE WAS DJ DIZZY (HE'S A TOP FRIEND) WE WOULD ALWAYS CHILL LISTEN TO MIXES FROM HIP HOP ON THE RADIO TO HOUSE MUSIC THE CLASSIC BAD BOY BILL AND HUMPTY VISSION CD'S.
FROM THAT POINT ON I HAVE FOCUSED ON BECOMING BETTER EACH AND EVERYTIME I DJ. A BIG INSPIRATION TYPE PERSON AT THE TIME WAS SAN JOSE'S OWN MIKE LOPEZ. GROWING UP NOTTO FAR AWAY HE WAS THE DJ TO REALLY GIVE ME THE INSPIRATION TO KEEP TRUCKING WITH A WHAT WOULD BE DJ CAREAR.
AFTER SWITCHING SCHOOLS ON OCCASIONS I HAD REALLY NO FRIENDS THAT WERE HARD IN THE GAME OF DJING SO WHEN I TALKED TO DIZZY AND HE SAID "MAN AT LUNCH TODAY WE WERE GOING OFF ON THE TURNTABLES" I GOT A LIL JELIOUS BECAUSE KNOWING MY SCHOOL WOULD NOT DO THE SAME.
AFTER CHANGING SCHOOLS AND FINISHING AND GRADUATING FROM WILLOW GLEN HIGH (PLUS PROGRAM CLASS OF 2002), I GREW UP TO A NEW FRIEND. DJ TWIZM. WE WOULD ALWAYS PRACTICE AT HIS MOM'S HOUSE EVERY WEEKEND AND JUST SPIN FOR HOURS. PLUS AT THE SAME TIME BE GETTING MESSED UP. HE WAS THE ONE TO INTODUCE ME TO MY FAVORITE BEER UHH CALLED MR STEEL RESERVE 211.
WE HAD SO MUCH FUN, DOING SMALL HOUSE PARTY'S AND JUST CHILLEN GETTING SMALL TIPS FROM EACH OTHER. IT WAS SO FUN.
AFTER I HAD GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL I JOINED THE MILITARY. OOH RAH AS IF YOU DONT KNOW ITS A UNITED STATES MARINE THING. FROM 2002 TO SOME OF 2003 I HAD SPENT SOME TIME OF MY LIFE IN SAN DIEGO AND ALSO VIRGINIA. AFTER I HAD LEFT VIRGINIA, I THEN WENT BACK TO SAN DIEGO AND FROM THERE DID TOURS TO IRAQ AND KUWAUT. THOSE WERE SOME HARD TRYING TIMES. THE STUFF I SEEN, STUFF I DID AND NOT MEESING WITH ANY TYPE OF MUSIC NOT EVEN DJING FOR MOST OF MY TIME.
WHEN I GOT ORDERS THAT I WAS OKINAWA JAPAN(THE HAWAII OF JAPAN), I HAD SOON BOUGHT MY OWN D.J. GEAR FROM THE GUITAR CENTER. AT THE SAME TIME I HAD MET A NEW FRIEND EVEN THOUGH WE GREW UP NEAR EACH OTHER D.J. HAZARD.
HE WAS ONE WHO REALLY INSPIRED ME TO CONTINUE DJING. THE WAY HE WOULD SCRATCH AND DO EVERYTHING I WAS SO AMAZED. AT THE SAME TIME I TRIED SO HARD TO DO WHAT HE DID AND TWEAK IT A BIT. IT WAS HARD TO DO AND PRACTICE WAS SCARCE DUE TO THE MILITARY JOBI JUST WOULD SPEND MOST OF THE TIME JUST LOOKING AT MY GEAR AND IN MY HEAD I WOULD THINK WHAT SONGS WOULD GO GOOD WITH EACH OTHER.
COMING TO JAPAN WAS A WHOLE NEW WORLD AND A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE FOR ME. A NEW CULTURE, NOT BEING IN THE U.S.A. AND BEING AROUND A DIFFERENT RACE.
AT THE SAME TIME IT WAS SO FUN SEEING WHAT I SAW AND SO ON( THE BANANA SHOW IS SO WEIRD) BUT WORKING WITH THE FIRST COMPANY I WORKED FOR IN OKI WAS COOL AT THE TIME I WAS STILL MESSING WITH JUST SINGLES ON VINYL (SINGLES ON LP IN OKINAWA ARE EXPENSIVE, A SINGLE COST ALMOST 15-20 DOLLARS), BUT SOON I LEFT THAT COMPANY THEY WERE MESSING AROUND WITH MY MONEY AND NOT GIVING ME GOOD HOURS. I SOON MOVED TO A DIFFERENT COMPANY NIGHTLIFE ENTERTAINMET MILITARY. THIS IS WHAT WOULD PRETTY MUCH CHANGE MY LIFE TILL THIS PRESENT DAY.
WORKING GOOD DJ'S WHO ALWAYS HELPED OUT( SAW, M-1, B-EAZY,SIZZLE) I JUST FELT AS I WAS HOME. WE ALL LOOKED OUT FOR EACH OTHER LIKE FAMILY CRITISIZED EACH OTHERS SHOWS BUT AT THE SAME TIME TAUGHT EACH OTHER NEW THINGS. WORKING FOR NIGHTLIFE GAVE ME THE CHANCE TO BE AN OPENING ACT FOR SEAN P(SEAN PAUL OF THE YOUNGBLOODZ), AND ALSO BE AN OPENING ACT FOR THE YING YANG TWINS. DOING AN OPENING ACT GIG LIKE THAT WAS SO COOL BECAUSE FOR A BIT ALL EYES ARE ON YOU, IT FELT SO NICE AN EXPERIENCE LIKE THAT.
AFTER LEAVING JAPAN TO THIS COMING DAY AS I WRITE THIS I HAVE BEEN BLESSED AGAIN BY GOOD PEOPLE TRYING TO HELP THE NEXT MAN OUT, A BIG HELP WHO HAS REALLY PUT AN EDGE ON ME IS R-BOOGIE. GOOD LOOKING OUT, AND TO ALL THE OTHER DJ'S THAT I DIDNT PUT IN THE STORY SORRY BUT SHOUTS TO DJ FRESH, JAMMIN J, DYNAMIC-SOUNDS, WILD WHUT, DJ DENIESE, DJ UNIQUE, DJ FRANCHISE, DJ RUKISS, AND SO ON I LOVE YALL.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey5MyvHdRPY&feature=
