Who would you say are the most impressive artists you've done remixes for?
Will Smith, Janet Jackson and RUN-DMC. I have always loved RUN-DMC and to work with them and have my name up with theirs was a big honor.

How long have you been producing/remixing?
I have been remixing/producing for 9 years, starting right after I graduated from Arizona State University.

How many remixes on average do you do a year?
I probably do about 15-20 remixes a year, although I probably did 30+ remixes the last two years (when the "Its Like That" was at its high).

What got you into the whole scene?
I originally got into remixing and producing dance music from DJ'ing. I started DJ'ing because all of the girls liked mixed tapes and it was a great way to meet them. Back in the early eighties, dance music was really breaking in and I loved all of the records that were coming out at the time. I was a vinyl junkie, getting everything I could get my hands on. During college, I met someone who worked for a remix service and basically begged him to let me hang out and watch him work. He introduced me to computers and editing. We had finished a record right before I graduated and I sold it as soon as I got back to New York. That was my first taste of the music business. From then on, it was just work, work, work.

What label you are on now?
After the RUN-DMC sold approx. 5 million copies, I signed with Sony Germany for a worldwide exclusive deal.

Anything words of wisdom for aspiring musicians/producers?
Work all the time, keep doing different projects and be persistant. Keep knocking on doors and making phone calls to labels. Most importantly is love what you do. I am fortunate enough that I love making records and I can earn a living at doing it.
