Starting From Scratch: The Journey Of A Champion Battle DJ
Starting From Scratch is an autobiographical account of how the author found himself involved in the world of scratch DJing. From experimenting with record players and other devices that made interesting sounds as a young boy in the 1970s, right through to him becoming a UK champion DJ in the 2020s. This is a tale full of amazing coincidences and chance meetings spanning over 5 decades. A story of a kid that was born with the gift of rhythm and creativity, but had no suitable outlet to display them, as the artform he was destined to practice was yet to be conceived.
His love for drumming and football as a child, would be an early indicator that his sense of rhythm and competitiveness would eventually lead him into the exciting world of hip-hop culture as an adult.
Big life changes directed him to a pathway that led him to experience the adventures that would guide him to a hobby that would become his destiny.
“This artform that we call turntablism found me, I didn’t go looking for it. I just wanted to play football and bang drums.”
