I was the little white kid who rocked the turntables.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was raised in a mostly white neighborhood. I was this little white girl jamming out to Ella Fitzgerald and Bobby Brown.
I was a stage-struck kid.
I grew up in East Germany, and we were short on technology. So my father was really proud to be the owner of a turntable.
My father was my first inspiration. He had an incredible stereo and a turntable, and I was told not to touch it. But I'd go back and touch it anyway. I gained a respect for the turntables when I was a kid. When I was a teenager, I came up with a 'cueing system' to work the turntables because they didn't have it at that time.
I was the only one at stage school who wasn't white.
All I thought about when I was a kid was getting my guitar and entertaining people.
I was a James Brown junkie as a kid.
I was a guitar player first off.
I was the singing boy in school.
Pete Dj Jones was the first person that I saw with 2 turntables. This was 1972.
