By the age of 16, he was recognized as one of the top teen DJ’s in Chicago which led him to sign his first record deal with the legendary “DJ International Records” under the group named “B Rude Inc“, along with members Anthony Nash, Shawn Robinson (not in photo), Tommie Williams; including Byron Stingily shortly before the group disbanded in 1997.
Shortly after the disbandment of B Rude Inc., Burke, Stingily along with house music pioneer Marshall Jefferson began working on new music projects such as the Truth (Open Our Eyes) and Ragtyme (I Can’t Stay Away & Fix It Man feat T.C. Roper & Herb Lawson).
