It probably all began with the old R & B dusties of his mother, Tyree Cooper was impassionedly listening to.

Growing up on the streets of Chicago’s South Side Tyree Cooper discovered his love for the soul music of the 60ies. A first step was to join his Grammar school band at the age of 13 - playing the flute! His other passion at that time was playing basketball.

Both passions followed him to the high school where he met Mike Dunn and learned how to DJ.
