This native of New Jersey began his musical journey as a musician in the Jersey City school system. The journey began as he played in the marching bands and orchestras of the city’s educational system. In addition, he played with local bands which backed up groups such as Tomorrows Edition.
After arriving at Rutgers University’s Livingston campus, he was inducted into broadcasting at their cable carrier station WRLC-AM. As it was a member of a local band which drummer was James Browns son lived down the hall in his dormitory. The rest is now history.
With the contemplation of pledging his second semester, he joined the interest group of a campus social fellowship. With the bands public address system, a small collection of vinyl and two turntable setups at Douglass campus Blake Hall auditorium birthed the mobile experience and history again was made.
Between the radio station and the mobile party episodes for the campus organizations, his second semester launched the career of this music programmer. As a result of major promoters bringing concert events with artist such as Jean Carne, Labelle, and Parliament Funkadelic to the campus gym, he played for those in attendance and this brought attention to club promoters.
It was not until the transfer of a Brooklyn College student to Rutgers that the real connection was made. His new friend being knowledgeable of the New York underground and the music industry caused him to be eventually introduced to Richard Long and his systems. This was how the love for the sound technology got even more embraced. Taking an electronic course at a local vocational center brought out further a hidden talent for technology. So, now we have the DJ that meets the engineer.
As it was El Castile in East Orange assisted with the next leg of his musical journey. Eventually setting a standard in both club and mobile arenas, he became a major force to the dance experience. His list of the club scenario put a number of back in the day clubs as The Cheetah (Paterson), Cosmos (Newark), Club 88 (East Orange) and Elks Clubs (Freehold and New Brunswick) in addition to the legendary Studio 54 on the map.
As life would have it, he took a hiatus from the club arena to return back to the terrestrial broadcasting while maintaining mobile for DJ and audio visual systems for installation/rental. For two decades at WRSU-FM, New Brunswick, NJ he focused on the creation of The Audio Light Club radio broadcast. T
