Collagey first began to seriously develop his skill in 1998 after being influenced by such artists as DJ Shadow, Pieter K, and Coldcut. Since that time Collagey has grown a great deal, conquering the San Diego music scene with raw skill and determination. Looped vocal phrases and thick gospel ditties laid on top of distorted beatbox-style rhythms and scratching thats elaborated by electronic meandering, characterizes just a small portion of DJ Collageys set, recorded on one hour-long track for his release "Hip Trip For Flip-Floppers". His CD represents an evolution of music through multiple decades, including sounds from the eras of Motown, funk, disco, soul, jazz, blues, hip hop, and electronica. DJ Collagey documents a virtual encyclopedia of musical styles, woven seamlessly together along his creative journey. He has inaugurated an intuitive way to transition from genre to genre, melding them together as comfortably as if they had always been bedfellows. Opening for acts such as The Black Eyed Peas, The Movemeant, Killah Priest, Reid Speed, and Adam F, as well as having long term residencies with Thrusters, Beat Parlor, and Soul Glo, Collagey has proven that he is not only eclectic but driven for nothing but success.
