Dance music is so interchangeable. There's not a lot of face to it. It's a bunch of Dutch DJs with the same haircut.

Dancing has been in us, in people, since the Neanderthal age. There's something about moving, something about interpreting yourself to the music, that's attractive, that's interesting, that's intriguing, and everyone wishes they could do that.

I was the first person in my family who was ever interested in dance, or fine art of any kind for that matter - I came from a very humble beginning in San Pedro, California.

Since I was a child, I always loved music that made me want to dance. As a teenager, I used to dance the night away to electronic music.

I got involved in 2003, 2004, with a company called Dance4Life out of Holland.

Every company has its own texture, vocabulary, and singular place in dance history, and I have always wanted to share my perspective of these world renowned institutions.

The dance world was a big part of my growing up.

When I was first going out to funky events, it was a lovely kind of music to dance to - it had such a nice vibe.

From the beginning, I wanted to make dance music with a human element to it.

I was very happy with the success of 'Noise/Funk,' but of course, there is a lot more that I have to say about the dance, about the history, about the people involved with the dance and their history.
