"My mom was a DJ and the most influential person in my life so I naturally developed an ear for music. I watched her balance a career as an educator, earning her doctoral degree from Harvard University, be a spiritual leader, and role model to many including myself. The one constant in our lives was her love for music so I took the torch and ran with it! Before there was a JBlendz there was a DJ Bebop, I love you mom!"
