“We both have a very interesting past within music.  Since Elementary school the early 80’s, I was a vocalist, lyricist and dabbled in piano.  By the time I was 8; I was studying with Aldo Bruschi; a professor of Piano and Vocals for Juilliard School located at Lincoln Center in Manhattan.  The club scene caught me early.  By 93' I remember sneakin into Limelight & a couple of the other mega clubs NYC had to offer like Palladium & Expo.  I remember seeing the control the DJ had over the crowd with the expression of the music in the tracks he was choosing; amazing to say the least.  That's what made me want to be a DJ... I wanted to be able to offer people my expression & interpretation in music.  I started spinning shortly after that”

“Though we've had a similar time-line with the start of us becoming DJ’s – I fell in love with drumming when I was in my elementary years.  I used to bang on different size pot’s and pans until my father finally bought me my first drum set.  I remember being a little kid and wanting nothing more than to get home from school so I can play.  By the time I was 12, I would be sitting in class drawing pictures of DJ booths and equipment.  I got my first set up when I was a young teen and it was history ever since.  Sound Factory was my place of study thereafter.  I remeber standing quietly in the corner just watching how the DJ would move the croud.  It was quite the experience & I knew from then that this would be my life's calling”
