About Me

Buy Now From CCNow
This 10-year DJ veteran does it all. Scratching, beat-juggling, mixing, showcases, battles, dance sets, hooks, beats, etc. Sleep got his start DJing January 1996 while attending Oberlin College, on the college station WOBC. (www.wobc.org)Since then, I've been up to all kinds of shit. Rocking with Play Havoc since '02, Blitz since '04, and Bombay and Manwell, Ginsu, among other DJ partners over the years. No Cuts No Glory is the DJ crew to watch! I recently hit the road with the Warning Shot Tour, and got to rock with Edotkom and Rime Royal, two more of Cleveland's finest hip hop acts. Watch for us coming your way this spring!I (along with the crew) have gotten to open up for plenty o' national artists along the way. I'm not gonna name drop, but if you were at any of those shows, you know it was hotness. Aside from the bigger crowds, we learn from each show (even the small ones) to keep the swords razor sharp. I will let the music speak for itself now. Drop me a line if you feel it.
