Dj Blakghost:


Born and raised in Bronx, New York, DJ Blakghost had two turntables and a mixer in his blood. At a young age, he witnessed his father djing at various parties. While his father moved the crowd, he came to terms that he wanted to be a dj just like his father. At age 6, he got his first fisher price record player for christmas, and his first album was Bad by Michael Jackson. From that time on, he went to record shops with his father and bought REAL VINYLS. He got his set of belt driven turntables at the age of 9. That is when his journey of being a dj began.

Blakghost learned to blend records the way his father did. Thing is, his father was not a scratch dj. But after hearing dj's like Red Alert, Jam Master Jay, Grandmaster Flash, Jazzy Jeff, and Funkmaster Flex, he wanted to take it to that level. Also, he was making tapes everyday coming home after school. To him, that was his practice peak and hobby. From 1990 to 1996, tapes were made, parties were played, but the real test came when his father officially put his talents to work. Blakghost graduated junior high school at the age of 14. His father was under the weather that night. So after graduation, he went home, got his equipment, and went to one of the clubs in Yonkers to dj. Every Friday and Saturday, Blakghost saw himself djing from club to club. In 1998, he was djing 2 shifts (3pm to 9pm and 9pm to 4am).

From 1999 to 2001, he had a regular gig at A.J.'s Palace in Bronx, NY. Djing brought him to work with underground artists, and composing beats. When one of his close friends introduced him to Reason 3.0, that changed his game forever. He now wanted make music just like producers Timbaland, Dj Premier, Dr. Dre, Jazzy Pha, and others.

At present, Dj Blakghost is working on projects to put out for years to come.
