was five, my family moved to the United States /started getting

ear infections every three months or so. We didn't have health

Insurance at the time and when I got a third infection, my

parents couldn't pay for the treatment. I went deaf in my right

ear and was left with 50 percent hearing in my left. Over time.

my remaining hearing dropped to 20 percent, where it is today

My doctors predicted that I would be completely deaf by now,

so I think I'm doing pretty well

I loved listening to Metallica, Led Zeppelin. Bob Marley

Michael Jackson. My dad was a DJ, so he played disco,

folk, dance, rock, and music from other countries. For my

18th birthday, my dad asked me to deejay at the restaurant

he owned. After doing that for a few weeks, I was hooked. I

wanted to learn more
