Weirdly enough, I just keep getting lucky and either winning tickets or having some Six Degrees of Separation hook up\u2026<\/p>\n One record you will never tire of hearing?<\/strong><\/p>\n Stevie Wonder\u2019s \u201cSongs in the Key of Life.\u201d<\/p>\n One song that always gets the crowd going when you spin vinyl?<\/strong><\/p>\n DJ Kool\u2019s \u201cLet Me Clear My Throat.\u201d<\/p>\n Worst injury you ever got break dancing?<\/strong><\/p>\n I threw out my right knee and had to use crutches for two weeks.<\/p>\n Weirdest DJ gig you ever did?<\/strong><\/p>\n I once DJ’d for two rival parties in the same night.<\/p>\n Worst straight job you\u2019ve ever had?<\/strong><\/p>\n Cleaning out a house after an eviction. There was a clothes dryer on the second floor that the tenants had decided to use as a bathroom.<\/p>\n One straight job you loved?<\/strong><\/p>\n Working at the old Precinct Deli on Bull St.<\/p>\n Biggest misconception people seem to have about you?<\/strong><\/p>\n That I’m Jamaican or Rasta.

The increase in tourist parking has become much more of a hassle for those in the service industry. If you want tourists to be happy, then the folks serving the tourists should be happy as well. I would also create clearer zoning laws regarding noise levels in the downtown area. I believe we have one of the greatest music communities in the country, and if the City would be willing to truly work more with the arts and music community besides just SCAD it would only get better.<\/p>\n
