Craig grew up listening to a lot of Hip-Hop music in New York during his younger years. It was pretty much Hip-Hop or grunge to choose from during high school, but it wasn't until college that he discovered the Motown sound. This genre of music became his favorite instantly, with its strong bass lines and funky drum beats. Craig's Puerto Rican heritage definitely favored the danceable music. Some of his favorites include Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Michael Jackson (before he went insane), Billy Joel, Brian McKnight, Bill Withers, A Tribe Called Quest, & the Pharcyde.
