A product of Atlantas underground music scene, DJ Tek-Niques entree into the music scene began in the seventh grade when he saw a local DJ perform at a school dance. He said, I was amazed at how he controlled the crowd. Hed make their bodies move with the music he played. One could say Tek-Nique found his calling that day.During his freshman year in high school, DJ Tek-Nique started mixing tapes and performing at local venues throughout the city. WKKC gave him his first break as an on air hot mix jock. The experience opened his eyes to the many facets of radio. Through his determination, Tek-Nique, was given the opportunity to work with Island Records. He also provided his skills for Columbia Records.

His sense of music is what drives his selections when he spins at parties, clubs, and concerts. Having a strong sense of music also strengthened what he believes very strongly in, technique! He exemplifies this proudly when he describes what it means to be a DJ. He says, When youre rocking a party, youve got to know what to play and when to play it to keep the crowd dancing. Its all about entertaining the crowd. Thats my purpose as the DJ!!! His dream, at this level, is to be featured on a syndicated radio mixshow as well as being globally recognized.
