- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was looking for a job and got hired by my football coach who owned a record store when I was 14. Someone came in needing a DJ one day and I volunteered. I spent my paycheck on the top 40 records. I had one record player and I borrowed one record player from my boss, James and walked over there. At the end the lady gave me $300. The rest is history. In school I saw a natural connection between DJ and theater sound design.
