It all started In San Jose California in 1987 at the young age of 12 years old. I was in jr high when I saw my first live dj in the mix. prior to this experience I had only known what I had seen in music video's like GrandMaster Flash & "Jam Master Jay" of Run Dmc & movies like Beat Street and Breakin'.
I started buying records at a local shop that had all the best underground music from hip hop to freestlye and dj mixed records. I had started to listen to San Francisco base radio stations like "kmel & ksol , they had the dopest mixes , They had dj's like Cameron Paul , Alexander Mejia , dj Efx and mc's like Sway & dj king Tech , the late 80's were trully unique.
In 1990 with the help of my parents we open a music store in the central valley, where I was expose to new friends who were into dj'ing and making music. If there's one record out there that effected my life it's got to be Fast Eddie's Acid thunder. My life forever changed.
In 1991, My friend Ricardo took me to my first party in San Francisco : Toon Town then weekend after weekend other events like Felix the cat / Funky Tekno Tribe / Full moon parties /cool world ,etc.
In the summer of 1993 I was invited to spin in Hawaii by my friend warren aka Hollywood dog lasers. While I was there I played along side dj's : EFX ,Digit ,Rasoul , Aquatuirm ,Graeme aka Dj La paix ,mouse, dj dan ,hardkiss bros. and many others. After my return back to California , I started promoting my own parties and my first event was in feb. of 94 titled (Catastophic Energy) .
In months to come I was getting many bookings in sf/bay area where I met & played along side dj's Jeno , Carlos , Q-bert , Simon , Tony Hewitt , Ghost , DJ Liquid , Thomas , Dutch , Kano , Eric Thrasher, Scott Ducey , Joe Harp , Jordan , Kevin Kind , Dj Dan, Graeme , Donald Glaude , Joey Beltram , DB , keoki , Jon Bishop , Stevie Loria , Doc Martin , Harry Who , Barry Weaver , Jon Lee , Dj Trip , Pink 6 , Code Blue , RAW , Jason Blakemore , Neon leon , Jason Bently , etc.
In 1995 I had bulit a fan base in northern cal- SF/Bay area. It was time for a big Club event! Its march of 1995 the event is called (Catastophic Planet) the dj line-up is , Dj Dan , Graeme La paix , Carlos , Q-bert and myself. This event was a big success for my production. From 1993 to about 2001 I dj'ed and produced my own events in California and around the United States from airport to party.
In 2001 I moved to Los Angeles and started Volume a weekly club event on the sunset strip in Hollywood. where I played along side Dj Ernie Vee.
In 2005 I moved Austin Texas. In 2006 I return to the decks & I'm currently into music production , my weekly event is called Reverse Happy Hour by House Sessions at Umi Sushi Bar & Grill in Austin Tx.
Much respect to all the dj's I've come into contact with thought the last 20 + years..... Peace , Love and House Music.
