Growing up as the son of one of the founders of the Berkley Folk Festival I have a rich background in music. Though I never persued music performance per se I have always been a lover of all types of music. During my years in NYC I ran with a hip-hop collective Mindspray and helped DJ a few parties. Musically I was a great DJ, technically I was not. Nowadays I like to collect records, and play them front to back.
