Gaining much of his early musical understanding from his dad who was a gifted musician and evangelical minister, Abe Duque discovered DJing in the '80s when he became obsessed with vinyl and electronic dance music production. He bought his first synthesizer with money from his newspaper route and played his keyboard in his dad's church.
In the early '90s Abe became the keyboardist for the then techno supergroup Program2. In 1993 Abe made a decision to start his record label T. The rest is, as they say, history.
