Growing up in Baltimore, I was exposed to so much music. Check out what I was listening to as a youth:

1. Baltimore Club Music: This genre of music originated in Baltimore in the 1990s and is characterized by its fast beats, call-and-response style vocals, and use of samples from popular songs. Baltimore Club Music has had a huge influence on the city's dance music scene and is still played in clubs and parties today.
2. Hip-hop: Baltimore has a thriving hip-hop scene, with many local artists gaining national recognition in recent years. The city has produced notable rappers such as Logic, Jpegmafia, and Tate Kobang, among others.
3. Go-go: This genre of music originated in nearby Washington D.C. and has a strong presence in Baltimore as well. Go-go music is known for its funky rhythms and use of live percussion instruments, and has influenced many hip-hop and R&B artists.
4. House and techno: Baltimore also has a strong electronic dance music scene, with many clubs and parties featuring house and techno music. Some notable Baltimore-based DJs and producers in this genre include Karizma, DJ Technics, and DJ Spen.
5. Jazz and blues: Baltimore has a rich history of jazz and blues music, with many legendary musicians hailing from the city or performing there regularly. Some notable Baltimore jazz and blues artists include Cab Calloway, Billie Holiday, and Eubie Blake.

Overall, growing up in Baltimore as a DJ would have exposed you to a diverse range of musical influences and subcultures, allowing you to develop a unique style and sound as a DJ.
