  • Jul 1982 - Jun 1986

  In 1982, he became a VJ, at First Avenue (a positions which he held until 1986) and cut all of the club's video wallpaper. Throwing himself into many editing projects, he would often sleep overnight in the club's mezzanine, manually editing visuals without the benefit of a video-editing controller, which allowed the two machines to talk. There, he utilized experimental techniques and innovative methods in video editing, creating video wallpaper for the clubs huge video screen and monitors spread throughout the club. During these times, he was recognized by RockAmerica© as the first video artist to pioneer video "scratching". It was at First Avenue that he first previewed his re-edited or manipulated versions of Prince’s 1999, Little Red Corvette and Contoversy which he had re-cut into elongated dance versions of the original videos while maintaining the songs original BPMs (beats per minute). This caught the eye of Prince during a visit to the club, which led to directing his first "live" Prince concert and the beginning of a ten-year working relationship between the two artist. Highlights include: "Alphabet Street" Music Video (director/camera), "Sexy MF" Music video-club version (editor), and the "Three Chain of Gold" Funkumentary (editor). Back then; he had directed several live concerts, as well as various directing, shooting, and editing projects for Prince and Paisley Park artists such as - "Tweakin" for George Clinton (director/2nd camera/editor) and "Little Rock" for Eric Leeds (director/editor). He also had the honor of directing a number of live in-house concerts at this legendary venue for buzz word artists such as - Culture Club, The Cure, Motorhead, The Thompson Twins, The Time, Husker Du, The Suburbs...and many others.
