Gautum -- Is there a Dr. in the house? Not yet...

Why in the world would someone go into debt to go to school (after high school) for 12 more years just to have the opportunity to beg for a job that doesn't pay a fraction of what the actors on "Grey's Anatomy" get handed to pretend to be them?

It's in the blood. Gautum is a scientist. A molecular cellular biologist. He has his undergrad B.S. from UC Berkeley and is more than half-way through his master's program. PhD, here he comes. He's the guy you sat next to in high school and whispered, "What's number 5, dude?" The difference here is the guy you sat next to is now a miserable pencil pusher (or a dot-com billionaire -- but still a geek). Gautum, on the other hand, rocks parties (consider him a "mixologist", if you will -- or perhaps a musical podiatrist as he makes feet happy).

As DJing to pay the bills in the medical meantime seems a bit unconventional to his parents, he's had to ease them into it. His dad's first reaction seeing Gautum's two turntables: "Why do you need two?" If you're not sure why either, one look at Gautum performing his musically surgical cuts will show you everything you need to know.

His specialty is putting energy in the mix -- your energy. It doesn't matter if it's big band, hip hop or anything in between, if it gets you going, Gautum's got it on. By his own admission, he never meant to be a DJ. This is just fun for him...and it pays the bills 'til he can bill your HMO.
