MySpace Comments DJ Life was born on the 24th day of July. A few of his talents include song writing, production, music arrangement and composition, as well as an aspiring career in sound business. Life also enjoys playing drums, learning piano and guitar chords, and working as an upcoming solo selector for Life Int'l Sound Inc.The gift of music has been embedded in Life's genes by God through his mother and father who were both musically inclined. One of Life's musical influences happens to be his uncle Gordon Banks (brother-in-law, music director, and lead guitarist for the late legendary soul singer Marvin Gaye). Banks has also written and composed material for a variety of other major artists and performers in the music industry.Life has been inspired by music, its spirituality and history since the early 80's. At the age of ten he grew up playing drums in church while continuing to gain experience in sound during the early years of hip hop, reggae dancehall, as well as jazz and other forms of music. He taught himself music production and mastered the art of writing lyrics in song form while attending high school.In 1995, Gregory decided to adopt the alias "Life" after living a troublesome and challenging childhood. He thought this name best described the definition of himself as well as his music.Gregory graduated at the age of 18 only to study and work closely with music, the art which he loves the most. In 1997, while working at a local record store in Norfolk, Virginia he colaborated with members of a Virginia-based Jamaican sound system called Spotlight International. Members of the group consisted of individuals from Jamaica, Florida, and New York.Life gained advanced exposure to various styles of reggae music and became one of the most essential members of the Spotlight crew for a four year period. In 2001, Life felt it was God's divine purpose to pursue a solo career in sound system culture after two founding members of his former Spotlight family were killed. In April of 2000, Nigel "Pooh" Knight was assasinated outside of Club Garry's in Norfolk at a Stonelove performance. The following year, Sargon "Shuga" Sinclair (cousin of Roundhead from Monsta Hempire) died in a tragic car accident while driving to Virginia from Miami, Florida. May thier souls forever abide in peace with the Almighty & may God grant thier families guidance, protection, & strength.Life currently performs at a variety of functions specializing in authentic reggae dancehall, original hip-hop and r&b, soca/calypso, house & techno, top 40 and classic soul. Life Sound has one of the most extensive music collections ranging from the most exclusive in vintage to the latest original recordings, pre-released remixes, and dubplate specials. Life has also recently worked with various artists in dancehall music and firmly believes in leading by example, creating and setting trends with a mixture of style and selection. Accurate blending along with superior sound quality, innovative thinking, and versatility definitely places this selecta and sound in a class of its own! Throughout the remainder of this year, you can hear The Life Sound jugglin' anywhere in Virginia, the Carolina's, Florida, and other major cities and states spreading his musical message to people from all over the world.
