Raised
in San Diego, my
father was a well-known calypso musician and I developed a love for all
types of music. In high school, I was asked by the AV
department if I would DJ at the school radio station they were starting.
I said yes and a career was born. Not only did I get compliments on my
song
selections,
but the girls liked my
voice as well!
After high school, I tried my hand at playing keyboards and soon was playing
in a variety of garage bands.
After
making
$1 at my last gig, I retired to a life of full-time work in the Graphic Arts
industry. One day,
my roommate came into my room in a panic.
Seems that the club he belonged to failed to book a DJ for their holiday
party their party was
that night! He asked me if I would DJ since I still owned the sound equipment
from my keyboard days. I said sure so I pieced together
a
DJ system and did the gig. I, and everyone else there had a
blast
even though I thought that I didn't know what I was
doing.
From that one night, the people who attended hired me for
various
functions and my career was on it's way.
Since 1992, I have performed at over 1000 functions here in SD
LA/Orange County, Imperial County and Las Vegas. A highlight was
being the DJ when the America3 syndicate won the America's Cup
Sailing regatta
in
San Diego in 1993.
I absolutely love what I do and sometimes have to pinch myself
to make sure that I'm awake! People pay me to party. It's a tough
job but someone's got to do it!
Thank you so much for your great music at our Graduation party at the Hotel del Coronado. Everyone enjoyed your music. It was a pleasure working with you and hope to use your services again. Please send me a few of your business cards as a couple of attendees asked for them. Again Alex, many, many thanks. You did a great job. – Joan Winsby, SD Pipe Trades
