Ice began playing violin in kindergarten and was surrounded by music at a very young age, a middle school dance sparked his passion for wanting to become a DJ. With his parent's support, they bought him the first half of a Technique turntable set, and Ice and his friends did odd jobs around the neighborhood to save up for the other half. As Ice continued to hone his craft he was met with the challenges of the early 90s which included gang violence, but he stayed focused and became one of the first Filipino American DJs alongside DJ E-man to make it on terrestrial radio in Los Angeles, one of the country’s leading & toughest to get into markets.
