P-AIR's start into dance music was mostly influenced by the legendary Simons club in Gainesville Florida where he saw Sasha's first USA gig and where he was good friends with Simon, the owner, as well as Chris Gallagher who was the first resident DJ at Simons. With the help of Chris and Simons record store (Frequency) P-AIR started DJing in 1991 and quickly became the hottest DJ in North Carolina before he had even mastered the turntables; as he always had the rarest and most powerful dance anthems available around the world. Many people still attribute the start of the North Carolina Rave scene to P-AIR, as he was also one of the first organizers of illegal and legal raves and warehouse parties in the Charlotte area. P-AIR is also the second DJ ever to play House music in Charlotte.
