LUDICHRIS originally hooked up with the Dub Mission crew at KUSF in the early 90's, where he was a DJ and later served as music director. He has been spinning since the Sugar Hill heyday of the early 80's, when a bargain bin purchase of a King Tubby record sparked his love for all things reggae and dub. A New Yorker by birth and a San Franciscan by choice, he lives in Bernal Heights with his wife, his five-year old son and three-year old daughter. When his kids grow up, he hopes they don't select DJ names that later get commandeered by someone much more famous.
