He's been called a Hip Hop legend by many inside and outside the industry. He is known throughout for nurturing young talents and building them into superstars. In the early 90's when Motiv8 was Djing the West Coast club circuit he came across an aspiring MC by the name of William Adams, eager to learn with the right drive and hunger for success, he took it upon himself to teach him the ways of music production studio recording and overall presence and performance. Later they would add two other MC's.

     For years they worked and lived together in pursuit of making their love for music into more than just a passion for Hip Hop. By 1993 they were signed onto Easy E's record label Ruthless Records under the group name the Atban Klann. In 1994 the record came out which was produced by DJ Motiv8. Unfortunately shortly after the records release, Easy E passed away at an early age due to a publicly unknown infection of the AIDS virus. The Atban Klann where then released from Ruthless Records.

     Motiv8 continued Djing on artists tracks such as Kylie Minogue always remaining busy at work in the studio producing tracks for many artists. Also touring as a solo artist in countries such as the Philippines, Japan, and Australia where he has headlined overseas tours with MC Supernatural.

     By this time, the Black Eyed Peas had been created and Motiv8 since the Atban Klann days remained as their official group DJ. Touring all over the world and appearing in many of the early music videos from albums such as Behind the Front and Bridging the Gap. Although touring took up a large part of his time, Motiv8 has always found time to work with some of the world's biggest and most respected artists, producing tracks for music legends like Madonna ("Ray of Light" album), Billy Idol and the Coors, etc. He is also the drum programmer on N'Sync's hit song "Drive Myself Crazy" from their first album which helped launch the careers of these international popstars and biggest and most respected artists.

Adding to this, he has also working with Shifty from the group Crazy Town, harnessing and assisting him to develophis skills in order to take the group to the next level. In addition to this, he is working on projects with both up and coming and of course established artists in the scene.
