my life in a peanut shell
I grew up in winston salem on a farm. Been way into music since i was 3. did the whole growing up there, had a strict dad and step mom. but started experimenting in the world of psychedelics by age 14. after high school i left and kind of lived with my mom while, taking off and following ministry (still my favorite) around. went to collage for about 1 semester in art. then got into the whole rave scene in greensboro and charlotte (did way to many drugs). met a girl (emily) thur my cousins started dating her. we moved back to winston (1995) and i opened up a tattoo piercing shop / dj head shop with some friends. then eventually took it over my self. worked my ass off dj'ed a lot of raves, this also was the time i got caught up in Hinduism.and had fun and then got married to emily, then i found Goa/Psy trance, and i was hooked from the start, got wore out on the biz thing (70 hr weeks) tried to sell it and moved to asheville (1998). put in home satellite systems in bum fuck for 5yrs, then i got ripped off on the bizness thing i owned and my wife leaves me and goes back to g'boro. fun fun fun. so my friend kevin from g'boro moves in and let the acid rain! 2 guys in the mountains with big speakers (his wife left him too) and a lot of time. so this is when the whole asheville psy scene takes off and its still going good. we move to the middle of downtown asheville and the world seems to be the greatest place ever.(which i still think it is, i just love life) traveling alot playing trance shows in NYC and even went to puerto rico. met jenna the girl im with now . my friend kevin looses his shit so i break contact with him for a while. so things are moving so fast in my life that i really dont know what is really happening . we move in together decide to have a kid ( i always wanted one) and bingo -bam heres my son blaise he is 3 1/2 now. buy a house do the family thing . now i here! been dj'ing alot all over the country. seeing what happens in other places, though its a blur sometimes, but i still love asheville the best, now im working with an older goa head who moved here opening up. a cafe' art dj spot. my life is up and down alot but i guess everyones is. dont ever want to get married again, i think having one kid is enough for now, life moves so fast, it seems like i just woke up , wondering when did this all happen?
