Since 1991 DJ Cue has been starting businesses and music projects with the focus on representing the independent artists creative way of thinking.  It all started in high school when he was set on being in the music industry as a producer or label owner.   Inspired by labels like Ruthless Records (Easy-E) and Luke Skyywalker (Luther Campbell) Records he wanted to make records and distribute them on his own.  In 1991 he went to college to learn audio engineering and broadcasting and during this time he met his crew of DJ's Eddie Def and Quest.  From that moment until now he has been part of a pioneering crew that still has not stopped creating music and being active with other groups and projects in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.
