Ever since nothing could separate him from his music.DJ Blaze was hesitant of the future that spinning vinyl’s would offer, so he took the more conventional way of attaining a career and attended Berkley College. He reached his senior year but could not shake off his attachment to music. He decided to give DJ’ing as career one more chance and at the age of 21 it took off..DJ Blaze began his career at local lounges and clubs in Astoria, Queens.
