Recognized today as one of the most outstanding DJ’s on the music and club scene; Dj-I.c.DRE’ has performed with a wide array of music legends from RUN DMC to TWISTA. Born south of Chicago, in Kankakee, Illinois, his passion for music was fueled at the age of 15. Growing up listening to Rap/Hip-Hop music and watching videos during its earliest beginnings provided the inspiration for Dj-I.c.DRE’. However, it was the impact of watching Dj Jazzy Jeff, Dj Premier and Dj Scratch perform that ultimately elevated his determination to become one of the best Dj;s in the profession.
Success hit big, when DJ-I.c.DRE’ was recruited to tour for Hip-Hop Super Star TWISTA. “I entered a Dj Battle in Chicago and won”. From there, TWISTA offered me the opportunity to dj and produce him. I did this five years straight which took me around the world. Everybody can tell you, you’re good, when you’re from the same hometown. But, when people from around the country and internationally acknowledge your talent, that’s when I realized I really had something.”
Thankful for the opportunity TWISTA gave him; Dj-I.c.DRE’ makes it his mission to give back to young aspiring Dj’s as well.
