When you've lived in various parts of these great united states, you’re bound to be exposed to just as many, if not more, cultures than anywhere else in the world. And for a DJ, you couldn't ask for more. How else do you expect to competitively keep up with the DMC finalists?
DJ Manwell was born in Brooklyn, raised in Columbus, OH, and has now set up shop in Los Angeles. He’s taken home the L.A. belt in the regional DMC’s (2012, 2014), toured the world multiple times, and is constantly working on new music either by himself or with The Procussions.
Check out his 2014 DMC U.S. Finals routine that blends Rock, Hip-Hop, Funk, and a lot of attitude. Before that, he speaks on his recent discovery of musical roots in his family, the inspiration to DJ (Juice 1992), and his early exposure to a DMC compilation tape.
