if you're good, we'll find ya!
LIVE WIRE was born in 1999. Both Kidd
Star & Kontrol started
the company with a dollar (actually some credit cards with ridiculous
limits!) & a dream. Both from NY these two cats began their friendship
at the early age of 6! With their undying love for music, both decided
to give the music scene a swift kick in the junk by giving the Break beat
scene a little NY flavor. Raised on Hip-Hop and NY House, both were blown
away once they were introduced to the Funky Breakz. Brought into the Charlotte
party scene by T-Nice,
Kidd Star & Kontrol
quickly got their feet wet by playing in a couple local clubs. After a
few months, they were introduced to Hydraulic
31 Flavaz & Neumonic, three
of Break beats finest. A couple nights out partyin' and a couple discussions
later...they instantly became friends and the rest is history! Fuck charts
& album sales... we do this shit for the love!!!

history
"...when we do our shows, we look like normal
people (with a lil' fashion!)"
Name: Aaron
AKA: Kidd Star
"...Steve
& I, both from NY, met each other at age 2. We grew up together, going
to same elementary, jr. high, and high school. We were always into music.
My bus always arrived early, and Steve walked to school (this was before
we could drive) so we were always the first ones at school. Instead of
going into the cafeteria and waiting for them to ring the bell for our
homeroom, we would stand outside with our headphones on listening to our
latest rap tape (I always had to hide my house music tapes 'cause they
thought was queer).
No one liked rap back then. We were engulfed in the hip-hop culture and
would be lying if we said it didn't have a huge influence on us. When
high school ended I stayed in NY for college in order to play f'ball,
Steve went down South. Even though we didn't go to college with each other
we always spent the summers in Ocean City, MD together working for a t-shirt
company making t-shirts. We decided then that we wanted to start our own
business together…we decided it should be a hip-hop label.
I grew out of rap, but I was still listening to house music and getting
more involved in it and its culture. When I graduated from college I moved
down to Charlotte to join forces with Steve. The plan was to move to CA
when he graduated, but it is funny how plans change. We started out our
label hip-hop, but I saw that the guys we had didn't have the drive we
had or the perseverance. Two key ingredients in making it in the entertainment
world. While Steve was djing frat parties & getting on our rappers about
deadlines and stuff, I was out experiencing what Charlotte had to offer
and raves. Introduced by my x-g'friend, I saw something that was untapped.
The Breakbeat scene, which combines hip-hop and house. Everyone was doing
stuff just to keep the scene going but nothing to further it, or let the
masses experience it. One day I sat Steve down and said, "Let's do it
ourselves. No one wants to see Live Wire succeed like we do, we can do
it… but not in rap. In break beats." He agreed, and next thing ya know...we
started dj'in, promoting, producing, basically emerging ourselves with
every aspect of the scene.
We met up with two of break beats finest, Hydraulic & Neumonic. With them
we got connected with some of the biggest names out there. We asked them
to join our team and they agreed. Since then nothing has been more satisfying
or enjoyable. Steve and I as well as Jason and Josh are following our
dream, and even if we don't succeed at least we can say we tried. But
I don't see that happening, no matter how many times we fall or how many
'no's' I get or 'it'll never happen'… I know what hard work is, I know
how to sacrifice, I know dedication, I know how important the group is
over the individual, and I know what it takes to make your dreams come
true. I guess I have gone over on a tangent but that is how I get when
I talk about our jobs, which is what we love… music, and partying!!!!"
