| Disco Jocky, born August 29, 1958, in Clacton on sea, as the seventh of nine and a half children. Steve and his brothers were assembled into a pottery group when Steve was only five years old. Despite his extremely young age, he soon distinguished himself as a potter of prodigious ability. No mere child prodigy, Steve had a gift for terracotta that was not only well beyond his years, but would have been astonishing in an arts and craftsman of any age. After winning several contests, �the Potty Jameses�, as the group was called, signed a contract with the trailblazing magazine �Home & Garden�. Steve and the group (with the exception of brother Nigel) left �Home & Garden� in 1975, signing with �Wedding Ideas Ltd�, which also gave Steve a chance to �see a DJ play� at a couple of receptions. Years later, he had dropped the whole pottery lark to hang out at the side of DJ booths of some of Hong Kongs top (girly) bars. No one could have anticipated, however, the charges that rocked the pottery world in 1993. A 43-year-old woman, identified only as a friend of the wanna be dj, asserted that Steve had stolen the majority of his early vase designs. Stephen was in the bar when the allegations were made public, and he promptly brought the series of �round buying�to a halt, claiming exhaustion and a weak bladder. After extensive legal wrangling and, funnily enough, mud-slinging from both the womans family and lawyers and James' defense team, Steve opted to settle out of court for an estimated fourty Pesos. Though he settled, James denied any wrongdoing. Well, not much. Meanwhile, coming up to date, Steve James eventually turned to what, it seems, he did best�making coffee for Pete. |
