Let's take it back to the very beginning before iPods, Discmans or Walkmans. I was sneaking out of my house at 13 and a half years old to go to Tunnel, Limelight, Exit, and Jonathan Peters at Sound Factory that was like church for my ears. I would go down to Canal Street during the week trying to buy CDs to find the music I heard out in the clubs. Until I learned about LimeWire & Kazaa, that's when my iTunes library really began to grow. 
In all honesty, I never dreamt of being a DJ or anything with music but I did always enjoy collecting it. I grew tired of the party scene after a few years as I had to focus on school more, playing high school then college basketball.
Then around age 19 I fell in love. The wild crazy kind of love that gives you wings and lets you follow your heart and your wildest dreams.
