Born in L.A "South Central" raised in Los Angeles/San Diego CA. At the young age of 13, I experienced my first taste of what is know today as Hip Hop music. Back then the radio station of choice was 1580 K.D.A.Y, and one of the hottest DJ crew around was Uncle Jams Army. I was influenced by the East & West Coast flavor of music. On the West, I listened to DJ Aladdin, Joe Cooley, Battle Cat, Bob Cat and on the East Coast, Grand Master Flash, Grand Mixer DST, Jazzy Jeff and the late great Jam Master Jay (R.I.P.). Around the age of 15 I started making mix tapes and selling them in the neighborhood to save up money for my DJ equipment. After months of practicing I felt that I was ready to start DJ'ing in the local nightclubs. At age 19 I competed in my first DJ battle in which I placed second, winning a $200 cash prize. One year later I competed in my second DJ battle against the same DJ from the year before and won again. That gave me the confidence to enter more battles.
