Yeah, I was actually a chem major in college, and was able to attend a school for aeronautical engineering in high school. Thats a whole nother story though. Music was my real passion in life....and really...who wouldnt want to party like a pseudo-rock star for a living given the chance? LOL The electronic music industry has changed dramatically in the last few years. Its a tough sale in the states, and vinyl production is pretty much non existent any more. Everything has gone digital. I never had much desire to be a pro DJ, its pretty much a hobby. The spotlight was never much for me, just not my style. The last production company I formed fell apart about 2 years ago. We just dont see eye to eye any more. Creative differences I guess you could say...meh politics. Its been a pretty amazing adventure in retrospect, and Im very fortunate to have the oppurtunities Ive had. My first paying gig was in 96'. Ive been pretty much living off my savings the last couple years, with the occasional staging job here, or there, and some consulting work. Success is fleeting in the industry, and its hard to start working for some one else once youve been successful for so long working for yourself. Nothing lasts forever though, and I need to get back into something soon. Most of my friends from back in the day have moved on to LA, and are doing pretty well. I really dont care for socal though...at least as a residence. Id really like to work in Europe for a while, electronic music is huge there. Im moving to norcal this week, looking to put another crew together up there, but LA has the market really....we'll see. Im always trying to blaze my own trail, but my just have to go where the market dictates.
