Biography:
Looking at me, you wouldn't believe that I'm a 25-year vet as a DJ.
Starting at the age of 5, my love of music began with a huge record
collection that my father, an ex-drummer, started for me when I was
only 2 years old. From Kindergarten to now, the love of music only
grew bigger. As a teenager, I kept my passion for music by becoming a
DJ for a rap group, and was often seen bangin on tables during
lunchtime as my peers freestyled or battled in the lunchroom. I took
those beat skills and learned how to use a drum machine to make my own
tracks (just as dope as what I heard on the radio). My popularity
began to spread among the high school students at Finney High, where I
was often hired as the DJ for the house parties. While in high school,
I took a radio class at Golightly Career & Technical Center to learn
all about radio and earned an internship in WJLB's promotions
department. Impressed with my editing skills, then program director
Steve Hegwood brought me in months later to become a producer for the
evening show. I knew that being at JLB was a once-in-a-lifetime deal,
so learned all I could (I'm a fast learner!). I was producer of
evening, then afternoon shows, a mix-show DJ, a production assistant
(where I made commercials), and an on-air personality. Since I've been
at WJLB, I stayed in tune with the Hip Hop community and was respected
by nearly every rapper & DJ in the city. I quickly became friends with
individuals who frequented the Hip Hop Shop during the mid to late
90's. By 1999, I became the DJ for monster group D12 (Shady/Interscope
Records). In between all this, I also moonlighted as a coordinator for
Penmp Entertainmnent, one of Detroit's premiere promotions & marketing
companies, headed by Rapper/Marketing wonder, T Da Pimp. I became the
technical producer WJLB's morning show, where I had a segment every
Wednesday and Thursday called "DDT's New Music Report". I am now the
station's Local Music Coordinator and host "Whats Next on the Menu"
every Saturday, bringing unsigned Detroit artists to the airwaves. I
am also mixing and hosting several mixtapes, and am now the DJ for Mr.
Porter (D12/Mr. Porter Productions/Runyon Ave Records). I'm also a
part of music production for several artists including D12, Snoop Dogg
(Doggy Style/Geffen), Pharoahe Monch (SRC/Universal), The Game
(Geffen), P.H.E.A.R. (Runyon Ave Records), Miss Nissa (Runyon Ave
Reocrds), Shard (The World Famous Label), Big Gov (Black
Gov't/Bungalow/Universal), Charm (Live.TMG), Vina Mills (Live.TMG)
and Preacha (Family Sound) among others. You can also hear my music
production on TV and radio commercials.
