"We were making money in junior high school," says Cagle. "I've been in a number of bands since then." Cagle quit college to pursue a career as a singer. Although he didn't make it, the decision "set my curriculum" says Cagle. "Anybody who I work with after that had to be better than I was." In 1988, Cagle opened a small studio in Baytown. He began learning the nuts and bolts of
recording. A year later he started his own record label. He recorded several local bands including Elevator Up and Premonition. He learned the basics of distribution and promotion. In 1990, he did a thrash band compilation, Voices of a Red God.
