Booker was born the youngest of 18 children to a family of prison guards in a remote village outside Hoboken, New Jersey. At the age of two, his parents sold him to a traveling rodeo for two boxes of paper plates. Billed as “The Human Utter”, Booker spent his formative years making mooing noises to tents full of curious cowboys. When he was eight, Booker was rescued by PETA and kept in a cage with other animals-at-risk before a keen-eyed volunteer noticed that he was different from the rest of the critters. Years of psychotherapy and a crash re-introduction into society have left him still incapable of mingling or blending with his peers.

And yet, that also makes him grossly OVER-qualified to be a DJ.
