DJ SKOOLBOI MIXTAPES

adventures as a DJ in rural Jamaica since 1994. I’ve sampled a wide array of musical technology which led me to become the entrepreneur of my first sound system. Myself along with members of the sound; successfully developed a high reputation in our community and even attracted locals from other districts. With the extensive knowledge and wide array of musical genre ranging from Reggae, Motown, Hip Hop, R&B, Soca, and many more; I mastered the arts of mixing at an early age. As the music evolved, I also sought to take my passion on an international scale and improve my skills. I migrated from Jamaica and arrived to the US in 2002 at the age of 18. With my drive to dominate my craft; I was quickly nicknamed “Skoolboi” as I was the youngest among the migrated Jamaican workforce. Instantaneously I began to create a distinction for myself at friend’s and family’s house parties, and social gatherings; where I began sampling Alternative Rock, Latin Beats, Pop Culture, and Afro Beats. My performance history ranges at various venues such as bars, night clubs, and lounges. I’ve also secured accredited performances at the Phoenix Caribbean Carnival and Hollywood International Carnival where I’ve committed the past three years to displaying the vast knowledge I have attained in deejaying. The creativity in scrambling music and finding rhythmic beats has inspired me to become an expertise at balancing each crowd and keeping people dancing on their feet all night. Over the last nine years, I have been on a journey to create a dynamic musical culture in the Phoenix Arizona area and generally wherever there is the need for my qualifications. Music is a transformational experience and I have been composing my transcript of skills such as beatmatching, phrasing, cueing, equalization and audio mixing. I am currently employed by PSAV Presentation Service as a Lead Audio Visual Technician. In addition, I have also made deejaying my viable business. As the owner of Alpha Style Entertainment; I have been making my mark in catering and meeting the demands of music at corporate events, weddings and private parties. At this time my areas of expertise includes but not limited to; Audio Visual Support, Live and Sound Engineering, My extensive knowledge and continuous drive to become greater in all aspects of my life has enabled me to implement this passion that can be heard and felt in my unique style of deejaying and drive to discover new and improving techniques.
