I learned to trust women's ears when it comes to hearing music a lot more than other men.

Timing is everything. It is not so much about who you know, especially now with the Internet, because anybody can become a superstar overnight.

I refused to be disrespected. So, at 16, of course, I was a gentleman about it, but I told them and it cost me my job.

I think dancing is one of the best things anyone can do for themselves. And it doesn't cost anything.

I believe it also says that I am a friend to everyone and enemy to no one.

A friend of mine that happened to be a DJ at another club actually offered me a job [as a DJ]. I didn't think I could do it but he said, "You know all the music. You are at all the parties, and everybody knows you."

Well technology has changed a lot of things, making it possible for just about anyone to make music. But not everybody is a songwriter, so that puts me in a completely different ballpark than the other DJs out here that are writing and producing tracks. I don't stop at tracks, I try to complete the whole package with the song. So working at that level has put me in a completely different place.
