I started playing drums at the age of 3, and I kept playing until the age of 19. From there, I learned the art of being a DJ starting in 1980 through 1981 with a few friends. Where we did small house parties and school events until I graduated high school in 1984 and enlisted into the United States Marine Corps. During my time in the Marines, I working with a gentleman who was a DJ on the base that I was stationed. We worked the base clubs in Tustin , El Toro and Camp Pendelton base clubs from 1985 until 1990. After working those places, I returned to Los Angeles where I worked with local DJ”s; playing the clubs around the greater Los Angeles area. I also worked on a podcast called the Music Showcase with Big Gino at Morris Media Studio, which was a weekly new artist showcase.
