Born in 1971 (an old and wise motherfucker), started listening to music and collecting vinyls at a very young age. My collection is now as big as almost 15.000 titles. Got into hip hop and djing in 86-87, and after listening to the 'Adventures of GMF' and DJ Cheese' 86 DMC set, I decided that was what I wanted to do. And I did it. After having won an unofficial dj battle in 1989, I entered the first ever DMC Greek battle in 1991, won it and represented Greece for the first time in the World DJ Championships. The rest is history: winning all titles until calling it quits in 97 (2 years with my Smartie Al), re-entering again in 99 (New York), beiing a member of FF.C, one of the best hip hop groups in Greece ever, doing session scratch works for various groups and singers and working for various projects. I was also co-presenting a youth show for Greece' biggest tv channels on a weekly basis, during 1991-1993, where I introduced scratching to a wider audience for the first time (in Greece).

What am I up to today? Still practising a lot, judging at the World DMC battles, producing a radio show focusing on old school turntablism stuff on www.turntableradio.com, and very recently I joined the development team of Eclectic breaks, the company, that produced the world famous Pro X Fader. I play various gigs all over Greece, spinning hip-hop, r'n'b and funky stuff.I have played in various clubs all over Greece, such as: Akrotiri, Venue, Privilege, Mao, Plus Soda, Bebek and lots more.I also run my own dj course at SAE (www.sae.edu), teaching all the aspects of djing from the basic to the most advanced stuff.

I'm working with one of the best groups in Greece at the moment,STAVENTO, as their tour and studio dj.We have already toured the whole country and even more gigs are on the way.



All I can say for now, is that there are lots of exciting things and projects coming, so.stay tuned.
