November Mix

                          Mixing the best in Disco, Techno, House, Electro, Hip Hop, Rap yes all that. Indeed,70's-Currently for 7+years! Richard was born in Staten Island, New York on Monday the 24th of February. Moving to NJ months after, Rich's passion began to take place when he would often imitate commercials or sing songs to his family at holiday gatherings. Based off these skits of entertainment, it was perhaps fitting that at the age of nine, Rich would host his 3rd grade talent show which he successfully did. Much like most of us, Rich was undecided of what he wanted to do for the future. With the a few ideas in mind, shyness eliminated comedy, this was where he then developed an even greater deal of pride for music. Being a major fan of Eminem, similar to 8 Mile, Rich would freestyle (battle rap) while waiting for his dinner to be cooked with the time of the microwave until it rang. On Sunday 4/4/04, Rich's father taught him how to deejay considering he was a Disc Jockey in his teen years. Disco was the first genre Rich began playing with on the traditional wheels of steel. Turning 13, Rich then progressed mixing music digitally on his computer and at this point knew the facts, bpms, etc. significant amount of music history. It was then clear that deejaying was a future career choice in his life. Personal issues aside throughout the years, Rich had several proud moments in 2010. Only exactly two weeks into a new year, Rich got a taste of his life long dream during senior year of high school by being heard on his soon to be college's radio station. Coming off the heels of that "happy hour", Rich was then plugged "The Voice". He made history by holding the distinction of being the first student in MHS to state the afternoon announcements in this current decade. This not only gave Rich momentum but future participation in plays, speeches, and even at times announcements during his part time job. A near three weeks after becoming an adult, Rich had his very first mix show in public at Old Bridge, NJ for a lung caner benefit on Sunday 3/20/10. Upon accomplishing these experiences, Rich's work was rewarded in early June by earning an academic award titled "Rudy", being teachers compared Rich to a 90's movie role football player Sean "Rudy" Astin. The following November, Rich came as close as one can to holding the highest score on Activision's DJ Hero 2 video game, coming in at 2nd place ranking on the X Box 360 leaderboard.
