It started Xmas of 1980 When I Received my first set of turntables and a mixing board from my parents. I was 11 yrs old and had no clue how to hook any of this stuff up. So I put in a phone call to Greg Collier ( brother of the late Ken Collier ). That was one of the many perks of living next door to the Colliers. So I started to hone my craft. I heard Vicious Vic on WHPR (Highland Park High Radio). My first gig was at my cousins graduation party in Highland Park Michigan. It was there that I met Vicious Vic. We clicked instantly and he took me under his wing, showing me the tricks of the trade. He's credited with laying down the foundation of what you hear today. One day Kenney Collier overheard me playing in my basement. He then started schooling me. Sam Bell and Ant who were neighborhood DJS also took a liking to me and let me use their equipment. They also taught me some mixing techniques.In 1983 I met one of the most influential people of my career. A very small guy, but he had the voice of a GIANT. I met him at career day in Junior High. He was the ELECTRIFYING MO JO from WGPR in Detroit. He immediately took to me and started teaching me.1984 - I was playing at the Stonewall Club. In walks this chick and asks if she could spin for a minute. I was MESMERIZED. I had just met Stacy Hotwax. So I watched her, went home and emulated what she had shown me. So began my career as the "High School DJ" including my own prom at Highland Park High. Vicious Vic brought Keith KOB Butts into the equation and we formed a partnership that still exists.In 1991 I met DJ Infinity. I took him under my wing and groomed him along with a host of other DJS.1995 was when I was introduced to Louis (TC). From that point on TC started getting me connections in the UNDERGROUND. I met Mike Clark (Agent X), Mike Huckabee, and Theo Parish, just to name a few. I played at Euros Amsterdam in Windsor, Canada. We also played at 1X with Terrance Parker.In 1996 I was introduced to a legend whom I refer to as my "Big Brother" Mike Banks a.k.a. MAD MIKE from UR. Along with Buzz and Rolando. I also played the album release party for AUX 88 at Submerge.In 2001 O played The Windsor Electronic Music Fest. Other places included, Bo's Brewery, Seven, Tonic and the Velvet Lounge. At this point I'm still goin strong focusing on the future . . .
