When did you first start DJing?

When I was 13 years old, I played hip hop and reggae for teen nights at local clubs and at 17 I started playing dance music. I was inspired to cross over to house music when I heard Junior Vasquez spin for the first time at Palladium nightclub in 1996.

Which three DJs influenced you the most in your early development?

My dream is to one day spin at Roxy Nightclub in my hometown ... NYC!

How did the development of your new cd Bangin '03 ­ Progresive Beats come about? Did the goals change at all during the project and how did the finished product match-up to your expectations?

OK - Let me describe to you the concept behind "Bangin 03" by Tommy Boy Music. It's a mix of peak hour music, tribal beats and vocals. There is a lot of exclusives on this CD which is all of my own productions and music that my friends did for the CD. I am very happy with this album and it's very true to what you would hear me play at any nightclub.

We're only half way through 2004, but what has been the song of the year in your opinion?
