    Background: Attracted early to hip hop and reggae music. By 14 he was already immersed in DJ culture. Spent most of his teens looking for the best mix tape, and going to all nite parties.

    Now: I'm sitting back and listening to my community and enjoying what new producers and artists are creating. Also learning how to run live sound, and mix live recordings.

    Top 5 (in no particular order):

    The Headhunters - Survival of the Fittest De La Soul - Buhloone Mindstate DJ Vadim - U.S.S.R. Repertoire Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain The Upsetters- Super Ape
