Bio

I Was Born & Raised On Chicago's Northside.
I Began My Musical Journey At The End Of 1984,
It Actually Began When I Went To My High School's Party & I Saw MIKE "HITMAN" WILSON DJ'ing There.
I Was Amazed At How He Was Able To Play 2 Records Of The Same Song & Make It Sound Totally Different, I Then Saw Him Scratch & That Was All It Took For Me To Become Hooked On This. I Told My Mom What I Saw
And She Asked Me What Stuff They Used To Do It. I Told Her And She Took Me To Biasco Music In Chicago And She Bought Me My First DJ Setup.
I Would Practice & Practice Day And Night.
I Finally Got Good Enuff To Try Out For The Demetrix DJ Team In Late 1984.
I Did My Best And Was Told That I Made It On The Team. This Is When The Practicing Really Got Intense. I'd Make Numerous Trips To Gramaphone Records And Spend Whatever Money I Had Saved Up, I Would Purchase 2 Copies Of Each Record & Learn How To Mix The Songs In Different Ways.
I Finally Got Asked To DJ My First Party At My High School (Amundsen) And Of Course I Said Yes. Little Did I Know My First Flyer Would Be AlongSide BAD BOY BILL.
I Listened To WBMX 102.7fm Religiously Every Weekend Just To Hear Him Mix & Play All The Records I'd Be Buying The Next Week.
