I e-mailed DJ Shiftee, a well-known New York City DJ, when I was 25:"I know you like a challenge.How about teaching a deaf person to deejay?" He wrote back the next day:"Challenge accepted." He tutored me twice a week for two years,helping me develop correct technique. I practiced four hours a day. Now when I'm performing, muscle memory takes over.

二十五岁的时候,我就给著名的纽约城打碟师谢夫迪发了电子邮件.我写道:"我知道你喜欢挑战.教一个聋子做打碟师怎么样?"第二天他就回复了:"接受挑战."他每周两次给我做个别辅导,时间长达两年,帮助我掌握正确的技巧.我每天都会练习四个小时.如今我表演时,各种动作已变得流畅自如.
