| (WHO IS HE?) |
| SINCE I WAS A BABY I WAS ALWAYS DANCING TO MUSIC, MY FATHER EVEN SAID HE WOULD PLAY THE PIANO AND IT WOULD PUT ME TO SLEEP. HE EVEN LEAD HIS OWN BAND IN THE 50'S SO MUSIC IS IN MY BLOOD. COLLECTING MUSIC REALLY STARTED FOR ME IN 1978 WHEN DISCO WAS AT A PEAK. AS A TEEN IN THOSE YEARS I WAS JUST GOING TO MY FIRST TEEN DISCO'S AND DANCING THE NIGHT AWAY. MEETING NEW FREINDS AND JUST FORMING MY LOVE FOR DANCE MUSIC. I REMEMBER ALWAYS GETTING MOM TO TAKE ME TO THE RECORD STORE SO I COULD SPEND MY MONEY AND BUY 12'' SINGLES. AS I GREW UP I WAS IN DANCE CLASS AND I USED TO GO TO THIS CLASS IN HOLLYWOOD THAT ALWAYS PLAYED THE BEST DANCE MUSIC. I FOUND OUT WHERE THEY BOUGHT THE MUSIC FROM, IT WAS A STORE THAT ALL THE DJ'S FROM ALL THE LOS ANGELES CLUBS WOULD GET THERE MUSIC FROM. I HAD FOUND A GREAT OUTLET FOR IMPORT RECORDS TO SPEND ALL MY MONEY ON! WICH NOW TODAY TURNED INTO A FULL TIME OBSESSION! BECAUSE OF ALL THE DANCE MUSIC YOU CAN FIND TO BUY ON THE INTERNET BESIDES IN THE STORES. I HAVE A GREAT LOVE FOR DANCE MUSIC. AND MUSIC IN GENERAL "MUSIC IS MY LIFE" |

| THE 90'S "MUSIC! MUSIC! MUSIC!" IN THE 90'S SO MUCH CLUB MUSIC WAS AROUND AND EURODANCE WAS IN FULL SWING. NIGHT CLUBBING WAS WHAT MY 90'S WAS ALL ABOUT. AND COLLECTING DANCE MUSIC BECAME MY TRUE PASSION. THEN SOME OF MY FAMILY RELATIONS OPENED A DJ SOUND LIGHT & MUSIC STORE. I WORKED THERE FOR A FEW YEARS AND GOT MY EXPERIENCE IN THE DJ ASPECT OF MUSIC. AND MY DANCE MUSIC COLLECTING BECAME A FULL TIME HOBBY. |
