I started DJing, breakdancing and MCing in the ’70s and I got my record deal in 1979 with ‘Christmas Rap.’
I was signed when I was 19 years old, in 1980. I went to Germany and France. Seeing the world at that time was just an awesome experience for a teenager.

Pete Dj Jones was the first person that I saw with 2 turntables. This was 1972.
My first jam was at Hotel Diplomat opening for Hollywood.
When I was 13 I had a fake Id that said that I was 19. I was getting in all the clubs.
The music business is really a spiritual business whether we know it or not.
