Well, My dad was a DJ back in the 80s so I had his old set up until that went down the drain.. So I found a free site to make music (fruity loops) and I kinda let that go. When I was about 15 I started getting serious about music and buying records. So from there I practiced on my friend's turntables until I got my pair. My parents thought this was just another hobby I was going to let go but they saw how much it meant to me and helped me get my set up. I kinda got sick of the same sound of music so I started using fruity loops again and acid to sequence. I moved to FL after my graduation where I met nothing but cool helpful people. I was in the right area. One of my boys of New Republic got me hooked on reason and pretty much the rest is still is in its making.
