DJ Solo found his love for DJ'n at the age of 7 in Harlem when his Dad bought
his brother a mixer and 1 Technics 1200. DJ Solo thought it was the greatest
thing he ever laid eyes on, and knew right then it was what he wanted to do.
Age 9, DJ Solo finally gets his first turntables GEMINI BD10 and a few
records and the story begins. His attributes as a DJ effortlessly began to
surface as DJ Solo was introduced to the pioneers of the DJ world. DJ Solo
then saw DJ Red Alert during a street show on 125th in Harlem , without
blinking DJ Solo studied the works of DJ Red Alert trying to learn his style. It
didn’t stop there, DJ Solo then studied Grandmaster Flash, Kool Herc, Grand
Wizard Theodore just to name a few of the pioneers that were in attendance
at the DJ battle event being held at New York’s own Polo Grounds.
In the Bronx , at the age of 11 DJ Solo began DJ’n local house parties while
trying to find his place in the DJ game while lugging around DJ equipment
with a dolly. During this period, DJ Solo took his knowledge of music from
Hip Hop, Latin, Reggae, House & Freestyle began putting out his own mix
tapes for the local community. While trying to find his own style, DJ Solo
meet a few people along the way such as T aka Feti Debiasi & Ken DJ Ickie
whom were serious about their craft and decided to help DJ Solo.
At the age of 13, DJ Solo landed his first gig during old school night at
Syheedas Bar Lounge in the Bronx. This first gig quickly turned into DJ Solo
landing many other gigs in nights to follow. Locations include such places
as T-Connections at the time, Vertigo in NYC, Esso's in NYC, Bentley's in NYC,
Cats in the BX, Webster Hall n NYC, Latin Quaters in NYC, as well as the
Palladium in NYC. DJ Solo has even traveled to Florida, Houston, Vegas and Washington DC
to spin. DJ Solo was now a house hold name. As the buz grew about DJ
Solo and his skills to rock a crowd DJ Solo found himself opening well as
becoming a roadie for icons in the music industry such as DJ Funk Master
Flex of Hot 97, mix tape award winner DJ Kool Mike Ski, world famous Bricie
