With over 50 productions/remixes to
date on over 30 of the most prestigious house music labels in the world DJ Freestyle
has firmly established his name on the international house music map, with
releases on such  labels as Guesthouse Music, BriqueRouge, Tango, OM,
PhutureSole and Grab Recordings, among others.

DJ Freestyle has headlined in clubs, bar's and featured on radio shows
throughout the world, in destinations such as Poland, The Czech Republic,
Slovakia, Belgium, The United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and throughout the
United States of America.

He has been spinning records for 19 years, which resulted largely from an
early childhood obsession with music.

Before focusing most of his energy on house music production, Freestyle, a
gifted technical dj, placed 1st in the Scratching division and 2nd in the Beat
Juggling category of "The Technics Ultimate DJ Showdown" in 2001. He
also won several mixing competitions in his home state in the early
to mid 90's.

Freestyle's diverse career and passion for multiple genre's of music, has seen
him work as an instructor for Technics and other schools (United DJ's Mixing
School), teaching the art of Scratching (old and new school styles), Harmonic
Key Mixing and Production/Engineering.

DJ Freestyle experienced another side of djing when he took his love of music
to the airwaves, hosting his own deep house radio show in the late
90's.

"Funkshun Produkshuns" (DJ Freestyle's own production facility),
was established in January 1999, after completing several years of
training at K.Rasta productions.

Mark Farina names DJ Freestyle in US dance music magazine "BPM" (in
2005), as one of his favourite 3 producers. Several of DJ Freestyle's
records have received highly favourable reviews in the most
prominent dance music magazines IDJ, MUZIK and  DJ Magazine.

DJ Freestyle's releases have had solid support worldwide
from house music heavyweights such as:- Kaskade, Mark Farina, Derrick
Carter, DJ Heather,  DJ Sneak, Jay J and Swirl People!

Freestyle's remix of Roy Davis Jnr's, "The Session" was selected by
Mark Farina on his double mix cd with Derrick Carter "Live at
OM" (OM Records). Freestyle enjoying an outing on the iconic
label that took out house music label of the year, several years in a row!

Much of DJ Freestyle's music has been, or is being remixed by some of the
best in the business. On the flip side Freestyle has
enjoyed remixing some of the best in the business.

DJ Freestyle's influences come from his favourite style's
of music - early 80's Boogie / Funk / Disco. Artists such as  Midnight
Star, The Whispers, all early Jam and Lewis productions (Alex O'Neal, 
Cherelle, SOS Band etc), Kashif Productions (Evelyn King, Melba Moore, Jonny
Kemp etc) Larry Levan and Francois Kevorkian productions etc . Record Labels
such as Prelude, Solar, Tabu, West End, Capitol, Atlantic, SAM, Philly
International, Salsoul etc. The original underground grooves.
