Plan B(Brandon)
This very good friend of mine has always showed his love for house music, He has  performed numerous times in the Bay area bringing some banging house tunes to the dance floors.

 READ UP
[IF]When did you first start listening to EDM?
[Plan B]I first started listing to EDM in the mid 90's when I was around 8-9. My Dad always listened to Dance/House music when it really first began to be produced in the late 80's early 90's. Back then I didn't know it was House I just listened and really dug it. As I began to get more into the music, in my teen years, I purchased Tiesto's Elements of Life album and a Daft Punk 'greatest hits' CD from a local Warehouse Music. Since then I've been in love with all genres/sub-genres of EDM. Those two CD's although very mainstream and generic albums of EDM, opened up a whole new world for me.
[IF]What was your first event as a attendee?
[Plan B]My first event as an attendee was Lovefest SF in 2008.
[IF]Who was your first favorite artist/group?
[Plan B]When I first got into the scene I was really into trance and was a fan of Tiesto and 4 Strings.

[Plan B]I have only been producing music for a few months now, finally got Logic Pro 9 up and running on my computer so the beat are in the making :)
