very Jewish, upper middle class, regular suburban life." He was
introduced to hip hop by his older brother, and has also cited popular
songs such as "Parents Just Don't Understand" by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The
Fresh Prince as early influences. Visiting his grandparents in
Rockaway Beach in Queens, New York, US, he was influenced by radio
shows hosted by DJ Red Alert and Marley Marl. He obtained his first

a late-night underground hip hop show, From Dusk 'Til Dawn, on campus
radio station WMUC-FM. His initial DJ name was "PMD," an acronym for
"Peter From Maryland" (a name given to him by Marley Marl while
winning a contest on Marl's radio show). After graduating from
college, Rosenberg performed as a DJ at a variety of radio stations in
the DC area, including WPGC, WHFS and on talk radio at WJFK-FM. He
began making online parody videos, which were seen by the soon-to-be
program manager of New York's Hot 97 Ebro Darden, and these led to his
2007 hiring at the radio station.
