Well it all started out with a male beauty pageant during senior year
at my school, called Mr. Cougar. I mainly joined this atrocity of
popularity to spite the popular people and to say that I was contending
with the key figures of the school. During one of the rehearsals my
friend Jeff Demelo had brought his turntables in to run the music. I
expressed interest in the act of spinning because it was so different
and nobody I knew even had the foggiest idea of what they
were, or how to use them.
So after me and Jeff talked through the whole rehearsal,
we went back to his house and he gave
me a set of Gemini XL-500's.
Which, for the people that don't really know tables, are damn close to being bottom line turn tables and take an incredible amount of skill to play properly.
So I was still a little Goth Industrial kid at this point, then Eric
Gray brought me to my first party, “The Bad”. This turned me
instantly to a raver and for the sake of not boring people with
this story, stuffhappened and I learned that spinning had a lot more depth, richness, and soul than what I had originally thought.
My first appearance was at a little club in Providence, RI called
“Energy” on Tuesdays. It was enlightening but that clubs
attendance was not the best. My next performance was
opening for a brand new club
Called “Aura”. I Was the first DJ on main stage, it was awesome.
The crowd was crazy and I had a blast. And though
out this span of time I
entered three out of the four “Fifteen Minuets of Fame”. I spun three
different genres of music and got second place every time.
Then I hooked up with Breaksteel Productions and the rest is history.
