In the late Summer of 1991 he got his start in the Electronic Dance Music scene at the early age of 16 attending Future Shock Friday's at Limelight, and shortly thereafter N.A.S.A. at the legendary Club Shelter. As one of the first street promoters of the infamous N.A.S.A. party's he helped kick start the beginning of a new era in dance music. With the earnings he made from promoting Christian invested in building a record collection ranging from House, Techno, and Trance, as well as Breakbeat, Hardcore, and Jungle/Drum & Bass - representing the gamut of music in the underground rave scene at the time. He then began feverishly learning how to dj and getting his first gigs behind the wheels of steel. Meanwhile in those formative years he was also a champion skateboarder winning local contests, and skating with friends who went on to become top pros. Additionally, "CBEE" (Christian's alias/street tag) was also a recognized graffiti writer/artist regarded by many as one of the most original to come out of Queens during that era. In 1994 CB earned 15 minutes of fame when he became part of the original cast in the cult classic film "KIDS" (look for him in the Nitrous/Paul's House scene) directed by the one and only Larry Clark and co-produced by the legendary Gus Van Sant. He was also an extra in the drama film called "The Ice Storm", directed by Academy Award–winning director Ang Lee. Shortly thereafter, Christian looking to get more involved in the music industry began working at the notorious Satellite Records, as well as Temple Records downstairs from the infamous Liquid Sky store. Where he bought and sold Jungle/Drum & Bass for both businesses. In the summer of 1995 he became a regular guest dj at local raves, outlaw parties and premiere electronic dance music club nights throughout NYC and the Tri-State area. He quickly joined the ranks of NYC's elite and most sought after rave dj's. Performing at parties both locally and out-of-state
