GROWING UP IN PHOENIX / AVONDALE / AND PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THE "AZ SIDE" ALL I EVER DID WAS MUSIC. AT ABOUT 13 MY FRIEND ROB TAUGHT ME HOW TO USE A DRUM MACHINE - I WAS ALREADY STARTING MY DJ BUSINESS TOO SO I WOULD GIVE DANCES AT THE LOCAL COMMUNITY CENTER WHICH WERE ALWAYS CRACKIN. EVEN THOUGH I ALWAYS DJ'd PARTIES, DANCES AND QUINCEANERAS - THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT SLOW JAMS THAT CUAGHT MY ATTENTION. IN BETWEEN DJing GIGS, GOING TO SCHOOL AND WORKING I WOULD TRY TO MAKE SONGS WITH MY DRUM MACHINE AND KEYBOARD. THEN I CAME UP WITH A SONG CALLED "LOST IN LOVE" (1992) WITH THE PRETTY VOICE OF TRACY CELAYA IT MADE EVERYONE FALL IN LOVE - THEN I STARTED WORKING AT THE SWAP MEET - THATS WERE I BEGAN RECORDING FREESTYLE SONGS ON THE SPOT FOR PEOPLE.
