I was still in high school when my parents let me drive into Philadelphia on Tuesday nights to DJ at Skyline. They knew I had no interest in drugs or alcohol; I was in it for the music 100%, and I was quite familiar with my way around the city.

The job came about when I was spending one of my many days in 611 Records with a friend. My friend got to talking with Mouse - the promoter for Next Step. She needed DJs to play. Unfortunately, my friend did not yet spin DnB, nor did he have a car. So I spoke up. She told me to come in, and so I did.

I didn't DJ every Tuesday, but I did go to the club regardless. This video is from one of those nights. I didn't DJ, but I did stick my big head in front of the camera when playing with the club lights (which is seen in the Guest DJ video).

Thank you mom and dad for allowing me to experience the music that would become my passion and greatly define who I'd be up until this day.
