		Grand Wizard Theodore was born Theodore Livingstone and grew up in the Bronx.
		According to legend, Theodore invented scratching largely by accident, circa 1977 (when he was about 13 or 14); holed up in his bedroom playing records, Theodore had to pause to hear his mother scold him about the volume, and happened to move one of the records back and forth.
		While Grand Wizard Theodore never received the same wide acclaim as Grandmaster Flash during his career, he was eventually rediscovered by hip-hop historians, which helped him land some international DJ gigs in the '90s.

		Grand Wizard Theodore learned the art of DJing from his older brother ("Mean Gene" Livingston), and Grand Master Flash, who in the early 70's performed together.
		Theodore would sit and play pinball, listening to the storeowner playing the newest records behind the counter, beat the score needed for the 45, then pick out the hottest new tracks he heard being played.
		Theodore's skills were developing so fast that his brother "Mean Gene" started getting jealous, at one point threatening to leave Flash if "his little brother got on the set.” Flash took it upon himself to help craft the young DJ's style and technique.

		Theodore developed scratching from DJ Grandmaster Flash, who describes scratching as, "nothing but the back-cueing that you hear in your ear before you push it [the recorded sound] out to the crowd." (Toop, 1991) Kool Herc was also an important early figure.
		The technique is designed to accentuate the work of the DJ by creating an assortment of sounds through the rhythmical manipulation of a vinyl record, and has spread from hip hop culture to a number of other musical forms.
		When scratching, this crossfader is utilized in conjunction with the "scratching hand" to cut in and out of the scratched record.
