About Me


Available NOW Dj Spinner began his journey into music at the age of 11, getting involved in band. He continued that to the age of 18 learning much about music. In the summer of 2000, he relocated into the Rockford area, where he was working as a Paramedic. Not being from the area, he decided to check out the local club scene, where he discovered House music. Hanging out in Rockford's Legendary Elixur DanceClub, he quickly became friends with Res. Dj, Justin Gardner. Spinner began traveling into Chicago with Justin when he would play his gigs at various clubs such as The Drink, Red No.5, Blur, and The Mission to name a few. This was an eye opener for Spinner, and he decided rather than be the groupie, he needed to learn the trade. Starting with a simple pair of Gemini decks, and mixer he went to the local record store and grabbed up some records and began learning. During this time, Spinner continued to roll around with Justin, and became friends with Mixin Marc, and Breakdown B, which have played a heavy part on his style of mixing. In 2003 Spinner landed his first gig in Rockford opening up for Dj Bam Bam. This is what got the wheels turning on becoming a great dj. Spending the next couple years perfecting and fine tuning his mixing skills, Spinner crossed paths with Dj Vamp in Peoria in late 2004. Vamp heard the Chicago sound, and decided to take Spinner under his wing and teach him the business side of being a dj. This proved to be extremely valuable information. Spinner began spinnin in Macomb with Vamp as an opening Dj, and quickly became popular with the college crowd. From there it was all downhill. To date, Spinner has played in over 20 venues, in over half a dozen cities including Peoria, Rockford, Chicago, Madison, and Milwaukee. He has played for crowds as small as 50, and as big as 1700. Residencies include Club Reign, Tonic, Roxy's, Elixur, Gia's, 9 Nitclub, Spanky's, Carbon, and Phat Cats.Check Back for Show times, as appearances at Premier venues are sure to happen......Special Thanks to Dj Justin Gardner and Mixin Marc for all the tips, help and Influence on my journey.
