I actually only started listening to house music around the time I started making it. I got hooked both to making music and to house music.

I grew up in a house full of music. Everything from reggae and afro-beat to Zook and pop.

I grew up in a musical atmosphere at home.

When I was 16, I really discovered good stuff like Detroit techno or gabba from Holland.

When it comes to electronic music, I started listening to a lot of Daft Punk, way before I knew what house music was, and then progressed into a lot of Steve Angello, Eric Prydz, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Laidback Luke.

I grew up to the sound of live music in our Brooklyn household.

I was in the band as a boy and was taught music and learned to compose.

As a kid, my parents had the typical stuff going on in the home, like Bee Gees, The Carpenters. Then I got exposed to what my brothers were listening to: a lot of classic rock, Led Zeppelin. It was around the mid-'80s when the whole Electro-Techno-Pop-House music thing started happening in Chicago.

I grew up with a wide range of music.

I grew up a hip-hop kid doing mix-tapes.
