Bobcat began his career as a DJ known for his eccentric persona and scratching for the LA-based party crew Uncle Jamm's Army. When Uncle Jamm's were ready to release their own singles, they enlisted in the help of Bobcat for the single "The Roach Is On The Wall". He later formed his own group called The California Catt Crew and released a pair of singles. In 1987 Bobcat gained mainstream notoriety with his help producing the LL Cool J album "Bigger & Deffer" in 1987.
