Born in England raised in haiti.. [I was] about six or seven and was just listening to the radio basically. There was a show on radio Port au Prince called WAML hosted by the legendary MasterDJI that's really when i was introduce to dance music.I grew up watching my cousin who was also a DJ @ radio Metroplole playing dance music, he would hook up with others Djs,they'd come over the house. They played soul music, breaks and disco. I saw them everyday as I went back and forth into the room. That was my first experience seeing a set and I said I want to do that some day. The older guys didn't want to let a young kid on the set. It wasn't that simple. But, eventually I got one turntable and started practicing on it. It was a natural progression. When I was thirteen or fourteen, that was when I really started. It felt good to actually touch the wax. Little by little I was playing with my pop's system and So that was the beginning of me cutting stuff up – or trying to from watching the big kids, you know what I mean? Later on, I hooked up with Mr Magic,who in my opinion,was the most-skilled haitian Dj at the time there was also Vladimix,Dj Regy,Toto just to name a few ,we'd get together on weekend and practice all day. That's where it all began for me; that‘s where I learned about different genres of music.Now with Tommy Boy Records and Sony Urban Music as a producer things are looking good.I've worked with Ray Cash,Amerie,Delasoul,Blaze etc...I love my kompa and i'm here to learn i'm gonna be asking lots of question about the Haitian music scene,hope i come to the right place.


Thanx again Pat.
