==Career== ===1998–2006: Early career=== Inspired by his father, John Phantasm, and the music he was exposed to at home, Ford began producing music in a studio at the age of nine. However, he did not begin performing as a DJ internationally until he was 13. Immersed in the DJ lifestyle, Ford temporarily stepped away from studio production, returning at the age of 15 with a renewed interest in music creation, citing the increasing technicality of electronic music as a motivating factor. It was at this time that he began producing under the alias Eskimo, a name chosen because it bears no connection to the product. At the age of 17, he released his debut album, Can You Pick Me Up, in 2003.
