In 1983, Whitlock traveled to Los Angeles, California, planning to start a band there. While helping his friend Dave Concors at the now defunct studio Davlen Sound Studios, Whitlock met famed composer Giorgio Moroder as he complained about brake defects in his Ferrari.

Whitlock purchased some cans of brake fluid and proceeded to fix Moroder’s car. Moroder eventually hired Whitlock to work at his studio. In the meantime, he studied recording with Moroder’s engineer Brian Reeves, given the studio was busy with films such as Scarface, Flashdance, and Beverly Hills Cop, and wrote his own songs.
