My Autobiography
Journey to DjTaeDaShyt my Autobiography
September 13, 2013
It was a warm Indian summer autumn day in Joliet IL at Silver Cross Hospital on October 9, 1979. I was born to William A. Atkinson and Diane Larkins. The Larkins’ are wealthy land owners and the Atkinson’s are creative artists. After much debate about the newborn beautiful baby girl, two names were thought of. The Atkinson’s prefer OctaEvia Octavious , but the Larkins’ want Christal Lorraine Larkins as my name. End result I am named Christal Lorraine OctaEvia Octavious Larkins. Ridiculous right, both my parents settle on a nick name of TAE short for OctaEvia. My most significant and special memory happened right here in Chicago. My grandmother on my mom’s side whom we all called “Mother” lived on Calumet. Picking fresh okra and green tomatoes, washing them and Mother frying them for me and my siblings is my fondest memory from childhood. When I was a child I always wanted to be Spinderella from Salt & Peppa the rap group. She was a female Disc Jockey in the 80’s. It was her who inspired me to be a Dj. With that being said CSI is my new inspiration in my musical journey. I aspire to open my own night club. A business certification from CSI would help me achieve my ultimate goal of being a club owner. I met a recruiter with a funny hat and sign on 80th and Drexel, next I spoke with Paige Tobin and now I feel one step closer to club ownership. An interesting thing about me is I am an Art Teacher. I have several murals on the classroom walls of my old school in the Warren-Sharpe Community Center in Joliet. I hand drew and painted our solar system from the sun to Pluto, also hand drew and painted the United
