DJ SKY

DJ SKY has been translating his musical interests and moods through the turntables since '93, proving to be a strong provider, promoter and representative of the Atlanta hiphop scene. From '94 to '99, he scratched live with 8 piece instrumental/funk/acid-jazz band Sputnik. During his ride with

Sputnik, he joined up with 3 MCs by the name of Mojo99 (now Heavy Mojo), scratching with other

rotating band members from '96 to late 2001. Throughout these years, he has built a

name for his solo career DJing in clubs, shows, radio and studio sessions with

many different artists and groups. SKY held residency on WRAS 88.5FM's "Hush,

Hush" show every first Wednesday of every month mixing and

scratching the best in down-tempo, hiphop & trip-hop instrumentals from '99-2010. SKY released his first solo single entitled, "Depths of My

Soul" in early 2000 on a compilation from Elemental Magazine, "The Track Less

Traveled". And in 2004, he released his second solo single entitled, "SKY vs. MS"

for the 2nd Annual MS Benefit Compilation featuring many of ATL's greatest

underground hiphop acts! This single expresses SKY's message to Multiple

Sclerosis which he was diagnosed with in March of 2002, bluntly informing "MS" that it has quite a

challenge ahead of it to have chosen SKY as it's host mind and body! To read a

bit more about the blessings SKY has recieved from family and friends, check

ever level up to the rewards of the compliments, fans and support that he has

achieved through his career and love of DJing!
