Dave's journey in music began at the age of 12, scavenging thrift stores to assemble a DJ system. He quickly made a name for himself, DJing high school backyard parties and events in Long Beach, California, sharing the stage with iconic acts like Sublime and Snoop Dogg. By 19, Dave co-founded the legendary 'Toe Jam Night Spot,' a hotspot frequented by Snoop Dogg, Sublime, The Offspring, No Doubt, Warren G, Green Day, and Inside Out (later Rage Against the Machine).
