But at least Skribble has his high-profile in perspective.
Every DJ has a day job so they can play clubs and raves at night.
And despite the fact that it's his MTV gigs that have made him a household name over the last few years, it's his deep roots in the underground dance scene where Skribble made his name in the first place. A the neighborhood's pre-teen DJ prodigy, he got his first set of turntables at age 11. By the time he was 14, Skribble was one of New York's youngest working jocks. Like fellow New York rave legends Frankie Bones and Lenny Dee, Skribble started deejaying at the one place a DJ in the early mid '80s could get a gig-the roller rink. They were so impressed, they invited Skribble to play on their college radio show.
