DJ Cue
comes from a background of business and music production. In JR
high school he started djing at home making tapes and doing small parties
with longtime best friend Antares. In high school he continued collecting
records and began his passion for music production. In college he learned
about broadcasting and studio engineering at San Francisco State University
and City College of San Francisco. During college he met DJ Quest
and Eddie Def and then the 3 joined together to become the Bullet Proof
Scratch Hamsters(1992).
DJ Cue
always interested in business wanted to start releasing records and along
with his group put together a well known record called "Hamster Breaks
Vol 1". This record would go on to change the history of dj's

Cash Money, and many others. Since then DJ Cue has been releasing
albums with many different labels and on his own with more than 30 different

stores in the Bay Area, Cue's Records. This store changed the way
people bought records and was well known all over the globe. After closing
Cue's Records in 2000, DJ Cue started on a 9 album record release schedule. He put out more solo records in 1 year then he ever did in the previous
