Who is behind LegoPops?

I won't go as far as to say I am a professional DJ, but let's say I know a thing or two about music.

I've always loved listening to it: my first CD was Prince's "Sign o' the Times", which I bought with my sister Cecilia. I had one of those CD 10s by Phillips, the first portable reader that came out. It weighed a ton, but it was very cool and somehow to this day still works! Since then I have listened to pretty much everything, staying as far away as possible from "club culture".

When I was about seventeen I started spinning my first records, mostly rap. I had a huge basement where I started setting up house parties. One of the best times was Halloween '94, where I remember spinning my first half hour of vinyl. In time my tastes changed and I started getting into dance music. This was when the "in" thing to do was to celebrate your eighteenth birthday party at a club, at a friends' house, in a restaurant, wherever. And that's pretty much what I did. A lot of time has passed since then, and I've had the chance to play all over Italy and abroad, with a bunch of friends that I grew up with. Pretty neat.

A few years ago I realized that I was not going to be a DJ when I grew up. Not because I didn't want to, or because I wasn't any good at it, but because I wanted this hobby of mine to remain just that, without having to conform to the pressures of the biz. Now I try and fit a gig here and there around my work schedule, taking every chance I can get to travel and spin a few records!
