Everyone associates me with Detroit - and I am known for being one of the founding godfathers of techno - but I was, in fact, born in Brooklyn in New York in 1964 and moved to Detroit - aka The Motor City and the birthplace of techno - at the tender age of nine.
It was while attending Bellevill High School that I met a couple of guys that are now instantly recognizable to fans of dance music, namely Juan Atkins and Derrick May, but it wasn't until I went to Eastern Michigan University, where I studied telecommunications and played football, that I diverted my attentions to making music. Derrick had been spurred on by Juan, who was putting out what would later become future classics like Cybertron, and that in turn rubbed off on me.
In 1985 Derrick made his first record, Let's Go, and I was there throughout the whole process, initially just watching him create music - at that time I was more intent on concentrating on becoming a DJ. However, after six months watching Derrick create his music, he inspired me to create my own music.
Juan was the one who pointed me in the right direction as far as showing me around my technical equipment, and the fruit of those early sessions was a track called Triangle Of Love. I used to wake up in the middle of the night, go into my studio - which was in the next room - and lay down the ideas as they came to me. At the time it was all about experimentation and being a college kid. The equipment was pretty basic, but it was a lot easier to work from my home studio than to worry about paying for the use of a proper studio. Juan was heavily influenced by European electronic artists such as Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode and Human League, etc, etc, and their electronic sound had a big impact on us.
