DJ DAMAGE

THE REAL DJ DAMAGE SINCE 1988

About Me

With nearly 20 years in the fucking game and still one of the baddest fucking DJs u never heard of, it's something he holds dear due to his no holds barred, no bullshit, no rules and no boundries attitude. With a wide range of genres, Damage has done house parties, shithole in the wall bars/clubs, megaclubs, carshows, raves, special events & concerts in 30+ cities in the U.S. including Tijuana, Rosarito, Mexico . Damage has spun on the air, local & syndicated as well as numerous college radio. He has participated in many local & national DJ battles. Damage can cut & scratch like a muthafucker, he has a ol skool "in the pocket" style, he also can beat juggle, crab, transform & do ol skool body tricks. Damage also invented his own scratch called "the spider walk". He also fucks with guitar pedals & guitar effect processors, he loves to be very experimental. He has spun for a few artists such as 2nd State (L.A.), Moonstyle Poetics (L.A.), Ology (L.A.) & Brotherhood (Inland Empire). He was an official DJ for a now defunct L.A. hip hop crew called Secret Service. He has opened up for numerous artists such as Digital Underground, Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock, Rodney O & Joe Cooley, Debbie Deb, Ice-T, Xizibit, Ja Rule, Lighter Shade of Brown, The Psycho Realm, Deliquent Habits, SX-10, 311, Long Beach Dub All Stars, Ozomatli, Suicidal Tendencies & Blink 182. DJ Damage fully believes in using wax cuz he feels "NOTHING feels better than using REAL 12" RECORDS". "Serato & CD players are cool but to me it takes away why we really got into DJing for, to really feel the wax u are spinning, It's like when u paint a picture & u put real feeling, love & soul into it. The other thing that kills me about it is most DJs today are TOO FUCKING LAZY and they want everything handed to them". "DJing is an art form & alot of muthafuckerz today need to rezpect & learn the TRUE MEANING of the art form". "There are alot of cookie cutters out there & they totally need to be schooled"!! DJing is a true extension of who I am". Damage also plays drums and has so since he was 6, he plays metal/thrash, funk & jazz. He also produces, writes, remixes & mashes up beats. "SO I SAY THIS TO U: WELCOME TO THE REVOLUTION!! MY REVOLUTION, IT ALL STARTS NOW & IN THE IMMORTAL WORDS OF THE LATE JIM MORRISON," IS EVERYBODY IN?? IS EVERYBODY IN? THE CEROMONY IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!!" Read the blog "the legend of Damage for the full biography.BlingJam Page Editor
