Initially from Ghana, George Quarcoo discovered the art of the D.J. after moving to Canada. He became aware the available technology was relatively accessible for his low level of vision, and focused on the art of creating the sounds that excite him around a particular track and feeling the vibe of the crowd. Performing gigs in a variety of environments – weddings, night clubs, lounges, corporate events and private parties – George says “variety is the key” and that he doesn’t limit himself to a specific genre.

When Russell Boast began his career in casting, he discovered the platform could offer so much more!
