Born & raised in Chicago I started djing back in 1984 just for fun...it became a serious hobby & by 1988 I decided I want to do this for a living. Growing up in Chicago my passion was for House music. In Chicago it was mainstream for our culture that all djs were a part of the House Music scene...

By 1990 Hip Hop became even popular & I started to spin it more & more working the college scene real heavy & eventually the clubs. Working the clubs for yrs I was asked about doing radio mixshow after a few attempts Carla Boatner & Elroy Smith gave me a chance in 2000. Currently on Friday @ 11pm & Saturday @ 10pm Show entitled The Mixtape Hour its dedicated to breaking new artist by way of freestyles, & new singles & keeping a live mixtape vibe on air.
