Early life
Robert Conley was born on March 13, 1973, in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, United States. He grew up in Harrison, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio, the eldest of three boys. When he was in the tenth grade, his father bought him an Ensoniq VFX SD II, and he began to create his own sequences and songs.[4] Conley graduated from William Henry Harrison High School in 1991 and briefly went to the University of Dayton before dropping out to make music. Conley moved to Chicago, Illinois, in 1992 and started an 'industrial' band called 'Darius Pogue' (the inspiration behind the 'dp' and 'dp13' aliases).[5] The band played shows in and around Chicago. He then moved to Phoenix in 1997, where he started an electronica band called 'Specificus' with Matt Kelly (aka K. Roxwell, aka MK Ultra), making music influenced by The Chemical Brothers, The Crystal Method, Aphex Twin, and Squarepusher.[5]
Career
Conley and Kelly moved to Hollywood to pursue a career in engineering and programming in 1999. They both worked at the 'Tone King' recording studio, where the KISS-Alive III album was mixed.[5] While working on the KISS album, the studio was visited by producer Walter Afanasieff and songwriter Robi 'Draco' Rosa, who were working on some new music for Ricky Martin. Conley's boss gave him the job of being a programmer and engineer for Afanasieff and Rosa for the day. Afanasieff was so impressed with Conley that he hired him on the spot and moved him to San Rafael, CA, to work in his world-class recording studio, 'Wally World'. Ricky Martin's She Bangs was the first song they worked on together.[5]
