Early Life
Born in Bad Neighbourhood in EY1958, Rudy was a latchkey child due to his parents' busy schedules. At age 12 he began breaking into homes to steal electronics to pawn for cigarette money. During one of these excursions he came across a Consumotronics SoundDad 0.0.1 production station. He decided to keep the machine and took a liking to it.

In EY1976 he was accepted into the North Bad Neighbourhood Art Institute to study audio production. He became quick friends with his dorm roommate and classmate Cyclops Jeff and they founded their label High Investments No Returns. Originally run out of their dorm room the label served as an outlet for them to release music by musical acts they found around campus. The label was purchased by Typeface Records in EY1980.

Part of the deal with Typeface was to employ Rudy & Jeff in their A&R and Production wing. During his time at Typeface he helped launch the careers of artists such as Corky Main, Big Salty and later Yung Spigot.
