 DJ Styles
|
DJ Styles was born December 4th, 1972 in
Oakland, CA. During his formative years, his many interests
included reading, learning new things, electronics, and of
course music. Styles was inspired by some of the greatest DJ's
on the national and local scene early on in life. His
influences included Jam Master Jay of RUN-DMC, Grandmaster Dee
of Whodini, Grandmaster Flash, Cameron Paul, Michael Erickson
and many others.
Although he could not afford a pair of Technics 1200's as a
kid in the 1980's, Styles went to work accumulating all the
hottest wax of the time, which accounts for his extensive
vinyl collection. With a very open ear for music, the 80's
provided the perfect kaleidoscope for Styles to develop his So
Many Styles approach to music. Any given day, Styles could
have been heard playing LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Culture Club,
Too Short, Madonna, Metallica, RUN-DMC, Wham, Billy Ocean,
David Bowie or anything in between. He has always appreciated
anything with a good beat that made him move, regardless of
the genre.
As the 1990's dawned, DJ Styles went on to attend UC
Berkeley, when he first got his feet wet in the DJ game. A
group of friends started a Mobile DJ company, ACE Productions,
and Styles started out working with this group. He soon
stepped out on his own as he began developing and nurturing
his own style. He was soon doing a number of parties for many
college organizations and fraternal groups. This led to many
gigs at other college campus including San Francisco State,
Stanford, Sacramento State, San Jose State and many other
campuses and high schools throughout the greater Bay Area.
Most of this exposure led to gigs in many of the top clubs
around the Bay Area. These included the infamous Informal
Nation in the back of Club Townsend, Up & Down Club, 330
Ritch, Club Deco's Legendary Tuesday Night with Q-Bert,
Shortkut, Derrick D. et al, Cat Club, Bamboo Hut, Cafe Du
Nord, Beer Cellar, DNA Lounge, Elbo Room, Sound Factory, Il
Pirata, Mission Rock, Nickie's, Larry Blake's in Berkeley,
Oaktree in Oakland, as well as many more. Additionally, Styles
began producing and selling his So Many Styles mixtapes and
CD's, which he has consistently made since the mid-1990's.
