I remember before I became the traveling club-DJ guy, I would hear my friends talk about how awesome it was out in Kansas City. In my head I thought “What the golly fudge is so cool about THAT place??” (yeah I cursed…so what – I’m a gangsta!). Then in 2007 I got my first opportunity. I was set to play at a club called Blonde, which is now closed, but at the time was the hot-spot of the city. The club manager and Kansas City President of Nightlife (I made that title up, but if there was one he would be it), Brian Collins picked me up from the airport and took me to Jack’s Stack which is some of the best BBQ READ MORE

Even though I’ve been in the noteworthy and credible underground hip-hop group, Styles of Beyond, who garnered a ton of press in the late 90′s, I was rarely mentioned in the articles. Even though I was one fifth of the MTV’s Music Award Winning rap-band Fort Minor, most of the press and attention was on the group head, Mike Shinoda.

When I got hired to be the DJ for The New Kids on the Block, I knew one thing – I HAD to document it! There was NO WAY I was going to embark on such a journey and not have any footage. So for every event – from the three sold-out shows at Radio City Music Hall to the NKOTB cruise to the Bahamas I had my mediocre Flip camera.
