    Artist History
    I was born on the east coast, and grew up in Puerto Rico. For many of my formative years, I trained in classical piano, with jaunts into playing the Alto Sax, trumpet, and guitar.I got into punk rock, and got beat up a lot. In '89, I began attending nightclubs where they played industrial and acid house music. Strings of Life by Mayday and Bombscare by 2Bad Mice caught my attention somewhere between '89 and '91. In '91, I went to my first underground warehouse party, and fell in love with the peace and unity I found there, all happening to the awe inspiring futuristic soundtrack of detroit techno, acid house, and breakbeats. Right then and there, I decided that I had to be a part of this. In time, I decided I was tired of being a spectator and became a player. I got tables and started DJing in '93. I had my first residency later that year in Orlando, Florida spinning downtempo breaks and acid jazz. I went to see Sasha play and had my life changed again by hard trance music. I picked up spinning hard techno and tech-house. It has been pretty much the same musically since. Wish I could say that about everything else. Sadly enough, the party life enticed me, and I fell prey to drugs in a bad way. I used them until I could no more. That was a few years ago. I have since gotten sober, turned my life over to Jesus Christ, and recommitted myself to the music I love.
