What originally hooked you into the DJing scene?

When i was eight, my old man would make me change the albums and pick the tracks, so when i would try and play Michael Jackson after AC/DC he would make me pick a different artist, and tell me that music should flow and maintain a certain emotion, after that it was only time before i could afford decks
