It is definitely because of my love of music. I was very lucky as a child. My Father worked for at the record plant for Columbia records and he was able to bring home a LPs every week. I got to listen to all kinds of music and amassed a huge collection of music, (which I am still ripping to my HDD). When I was in High School I went to a lot of dances and the Jocks there didn’t seem to have a clue about how to mix the music to keep people dancing and happy. I thought I could do a better job than that! I talked to the teacher who was in charge of the dances and asked for a shot. He said yes and I borrowed a PA from one friend and a second turntable from another and and did the dance. It was awesome.
So I guess my inspiration would have been the ineptitude of other DJs.
