United States
It was back in 94 when I stepped into the Legendary Tracks in Washington DC on a Friday night for a party called "The Closet Door" hosted by a now famous Kevin Aviance, the House, and sound track provided by house music DJ T-pro. Scared, confused, and dazzled by the glitz, glamour and madness that was the club scene, I was taken under the wing of Papa Joe, Phrankie, Mother Juan, and the rest of the Aviance Family. That Friday night molded my love for House Music, Fantasy, and Family. My favorite memory is the invasion of the Sound Factory. The night when a bus loaded with Aviance kids from Tracks, DC landed on 27th Street ready to cause, raise, and wreak havoc upon the Factory and later New York City! It was not until many years later that Mother informed me that I was an "Aviance", but even though it had never been voiced, I always felt like I was part of the family and so my journey began as David Martinez Aviance!
