How Did I Start to DJ: I started in high school at the age of 17. I used to go a lot of High School Dances and I was fascinated how the DJ was playing the music and mixing it all to make people dance. So the next day I picked up the phone book and made calls to several Mobile discos. These Mobile Discos did not want to hire me because at that time I did not have any Transportation. Finally the owner (Rick Perolta) of Music Express Productions said that an up and coming Mobile Disco Company name Mystical Sounds Productions is looking for people to work. So I called Mystical Sounds Productions owner (Joe Ho) brought me on board and gave me my first break to be a DJ. Yes, for 15 years I have played for High School Dances, Weddings, Birthdays Day Parties and ETC. Man, I had a fun ride. Thanks Joe. I believe that the best is yet to come.
