DJ D-Sharp has just dropped his very first single, "Definition of a Star".
The track is a west-coast-influenced banger which features Bay Area MCs, Kev
Choice and Tony Vic.
It was only inevitable for D-Sharp, a long time producer, to put out his own
music after producing songs for artists such as Lyrics Born, Lateef
the Truthspeaker, Shock G (Digital Underground), The Grouch and Flipsyde.
D-Sharp began his music career at the age of 15, performing at venues all
over the Bay Area. He later became the resident DJ at Maritime Hall in San
Francisco and then at Justice League, where he opened for acts like Jurassic
5, Dilated Peoples, Living Legends, Blackalicious and Latyrx. His years of
hard work paid off when Chief Xcel of Blackalicious recommended him to
Quannum Projects MC, Lateef the Truthspeaker (Latyrx, The Mighty Underdogs,
Fatboy Slim) who asked him to go on tour. D-Sharp quit his day job and from
there, began touring the world with Quannum artists such as Blackalicious,
Lyrics Born, Lifesavas, Latyrx, The Gift of Gab; and joined the infamous
Quannum World tour DJing alongside DJ Shadow. It wasn't long before his
talents caught the ear of other prominent artists including Lauryn Hill,
Clyde Carson, Mike Patton (Peeping Tom), Slum Village, Planet Asia and
Goapele -- all of whom he has DJ'd for. On tour, he has shared stages with
high profile acts such as Jay Z, Kanye West, Outkast, Common, Busta Rhymes,
Snoop Dogg, The Game, Pharrell and The Wu Tang Clan.
Before venturing out on his own, D-Sharp was the DJ for the Bay Area
alternative rock group, Flipsyde (Interscope Records). As a member of
Flipsyde, D-Sharp appeared on The Tonite Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with
Conan O'Brien and Soul Train. The group toured extensively, including runs
with the Black Eyed Peas and the Pussycat Dolls. Flipsyde also saw the
success of their single, "Someday", reach a monumental high when NBC chose
the track as the theme song for the 2006 Winter Olympics.
Soon after, D-Sharp broke out on his own and continued to make a name for
himself by dominating the Bay Area club scene. He currently holds
residencies at major San Francisco night clubs such as Manor West, Vessel
and Fluid; and has played prominent clubs such as Ruby Skye and Roe. D-Sharp
has also DJ'd in clubs across the United States including Las Vegas, New
York and Los Angeles.
As a DJ and Producer, D-Sharp has also put together mixtapes for Lateef the
Truthspeaker ("Truth Is Love"), Jennifer Johns and Kev Choice
("The Bailout"); and has released his own mixtapes including "Gangster
Donuts" (J Dilla & Jay Z) and the Valentine's Day hit, "Love Is Love Is
Love". His remixes for artists such as Kanye West, Erk Tha Jerk, Joyo Velarde and
Goapele have been praised by other DJs and fans alike.
2009 saw the launch of his official website, TheRealDJDSharp.com as well as
his own Podcast Show, "Sharp State of Mind" -- which branched out into a
video series in which D-Sharp interviews artists, such as DJ Premier, DJ Shadow,
Clyde Carson, Mike Relm, Erk Tha Jerk, to name a few, as part of an online video blog.
With the release of his first single, "Definition of a Star", which he produced, D-Sharp
proves himself as a formidable MC as well. Coupled with his current success as a DJ
and Producer, 2010 looks to be a very promising year for this multi-faceted artist.
As he has already proven, DJ D-Sharp is definitely an artist to pay
close attention to.
