"The first song I fell in love with I grew up in New York City, so the emergence of hip-hop really connected with me when I was a kid. Rapper's Delight by the Sugarhill Gang started me down the road where I am today. The first single I bought Let No Man Put Asunder by First Choice, on 12-inch vinyl from Rock and Soul in New York City, with money I'd saved from working part-time at the grocery store."
"The song I do at karaoke Don't Stop Believin' by Journey reminds me of the melting pot of growing up in the 80s. It's such a singalong, and gets everybody's hands in the air. The song I inexplicably know every lyric to Now That We've Found Love by Third World was one of my favourite tracks to play in my DJ sets back in the day. It's a great clubby, disco-reggae track, and without realising it I started recording the lyrics in my head."
Grew up in New York City and connected with the emergence of hip-hop; 'Rapper's Delight' initiated a musical path. The first single purchased was 'Let No Man Put Asunder' on 12-inch vinyl from Rock and Soul, bought with savings from a grocery store job. Karaoke go-to is 'Don't Stop Believin'' by Journey because of its singalong quality. Memorized 'Now That We've Found Love' from DJ sets; its disco-reggae groove lodged the lyrics in memory. Party anthem pick is 'One More Time' by Daft Punk. 'Celebration' by Kool & the Gang has become unlistenable. Sampled Toto's 'I Won't Hold You Back' for 'Another Chance,' which resulted in significant publishing changes. 'Go Your Own Way' by Fleetwood Mac provides morning motivation.
