Dave went onto playing trumpet in the school band to playing guitar in a garage band, it was 1989 when Dave was introduced to Dance Music & the art of DJing, when a friend took him to a house party, where the now legendary Chicago DJ, Bad Boy Bill was playing. He was blown away & from there Dave started to play around with mix tapes. Dave’s interest was further sparked & he went on to teach himself how to DJ. Dave worked on his skills & studied fellow DJ’s until he was confident to start playing out. In 1991, he started playing small parties & making his own mix tapes to pass along to friends.
