Hi, to all those who love House music.. I've been a DJ since 1979.
Those who turned me on to the game: Eric (Brisco) Cohen (Mark IV), My Phi Beta Sigma Frat. Bro Mike Burgess,DJ Burt (Club 88) who gave me my first shot to play at a club.

A resident DJ In the tri state area since 1976, I Started with my best friend at the time Tommy Wright, we were the local high school dj's and did most our parties for Vailsburg High School. Then near my senior year I went to International Youth Organization. I became a member of G.O.L.D Production, (which was based there). Herb Harris (Mr. Magic) & Mr T ran the group. I then performed for crowds of hundreds.
After G.O.L.D. Prod. ran it's course, I became partners with Ace Mungin and we started doing small clubs. After gaining a little club experience & building connections I Joined NJADD. record pool (Gearld Rhoney director) which led to a unbelievable DJ club life.
My club history is as follows; Club Company 2, Club 88. Club America, Cosmos, Bogies, Black Box, Marlos, Groove/Oynx/Flava, Brokers. I also did guest spots at Zanzibar Cheetas & the NJPAC.
