Poet Since '82, DJ Since '79, Producer Since 95, Digital Artist since '02. I grew up listening to R&B, 70's Soul, & Disco. While in high school underground club & house music grabbed hold & wouldn't let go and helped to shape me into who I am today. I use to and occasionally still do spin on technic 1200's or 1210's yet I prefer mixing with traktor DJ Studio on my PowerBook G4 (until I can afford to upgrade to a MacBook Pro). I'm a NJ native Born & raised. I'm a veteran twice over I've been in the USAR as as well as the USAF, war is hell PARENTS don't let your kids grow up to join the military LOL (private joke) I'm your hybrid Nerd / Geek, I'm not one or the other but a combination of both. I've worked for several major corporations as a Network Specialist / help desk adviser. As of late I'm concentrating on my manuscript for my book of poetry as well an accompanying CD... I've also begun checking out different open mic venues in the tri state area... Some of my infuences include Tony Humpries, Naeem Johnson, Larry Patterson, Larry Levan, Tee Scott, lil Louie Vega, Timmy Regisford, & Merlin Bobb. Some of My Peeps include Kenny Bobien, Eddie Stockly, Ce Ce Rogers, DJ Pierre (of B.O.P.), Andre Francis, & Stephon Johnson, Ako Johnson, Burnell, & David "Stymee" Mitchell, James "FourPlay" Overby, Larry "Jeru" Haskins, "Carter", Tyrone "Intense" Payton
