    Birthplace: Hailing from the City of Angels

    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.

    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
