Pete Dj Jones was the first person that I saw with 2 turntables. This was 1972.

My first jam was at Hotel Diplomat opening for Hollywood.

James Brown was the best though. I was a breakdancer back in the days and James was the best music to dance to.

In 1974 I graduated from junior high and in 75 Ienrolled in the High School of music and art. That was the year that Larry Green introduced me to Kool Herc.

I was called Kool Dj Kurt Walker... but they wanted tocall me Kurtis Blow.

I told them to wait... they did it without me, but they used my band Orange Krush. I was kinda mad so I said thats what I will do, start producing.

Yeah when I was 7 or 8 my moms would have little parties, and I would play the music.

I used to date Latoya for awhile, I was a close freind of the family.

Well I was always a hustler... I ran numbers; I wasn't a stick up kid, but I was a fence for them. I used to sell weed; and was kicked out of Music and Art for that.
