On January 22nd, 1979 an angel was born in Newark, New Jersey
to Rosalinda Mendoza and Roger Vinalon. At a very young age,
her family relocated to Southern California then on to a small
town called Elk Grove located outside of Sacramento. With
two older brothers and a younger sister, she naturally became
the glue that held them all together. As a middle child, distant
among her siblings was never a problem. Time with family is
not an option, but a priority.

During her highschool years, she became an active student
at Elk Grove High. Joining the Asian Pacific Islander Club,
she organized fundraiser events. She also got involved in
political campaigns like running for Publicity Manager. Everyone
remembered her lyrical rhymes over a Notorious B.I.G. "Big
Papa" instrumental. With the help of her very skilled
older brother RJ, she made a big impression among her classmates.

In the year of 1995, she picked up a hobbie in Djing. Following
the era of DJ Q-bert, she was recruited by Team Tranzformerz
that originated from the crew Majestik Soundz. Going under
the alias "Roxspin",
she made her debut appearance at Utopia (Sacramento State
) giving everyone a taste of her style in 1996.
As a quick learner, she picked up new scratches and techniques
very easily. Most of the time, she would be behind closed
doors rocking the turntables. Only a few were fortunate to
be invited into a jam session.

for the future together. Two souls became one mind facing
the world of challenges.
Both attended Heald School of Business and Microsoft training.
College degrees and certifications resulted in job placement
at SBC Services Inc. They mirrored eachother's knowledge of
the technology industry.

in hand of marriage. After seven years of a loving relationship,
the two soul mates planned a private wedding in the country
of Japan in 2002. Both were ready to take on the world. |
