Born and raised in the Houston,TX DJ Grip grew up around music ever since he was a child. Being exposed to genres of music ranging from Rock to Country to Rap."I can honestly say Ive listenened to almost every genre of music as a I grew up, I mean I taught myself how to play the guitar when i was only 12 years old."Grip adds. But as Grip entered into High School in 1998 there was a new style of music emerging throughout the country's 4th largest city. The southern slowed or "screw" movement began to become a force not only in Houston but the rest of Texas. "I remember in High School we jammed Screw and SwishaHouse because it was different, we didnt want to jam what everyone else was jammin, we wanted ours screwed up."Grip remembers. Houston super artist that you now see everywhere today were just local names growing up for DJ Grip. "I saw first hand artist like Lil Flip, Paul Wall, Slim Thug, & Chamillionaire come from selling mixtapes just in Houston to sellin albums world wide".
After graduating High School and a few run ins with the law, it was time for Grip to move on with his life. "I remember from like 2000-2002 I had like 3 cases pending on me, and my parents pretty much told me I had to move to Austin to live with my brother because I was gettin in to too much trouble down in Houston." At the age of 18 he would make that move to Austin to go to school at ACC and eventually transfer to Texas State, but school would only entertain for so long. 1 year after his move to Austin DJin would come calling. "I was tired of buyin cds so I just started making my own mixes on my computer, then the next thing you know I went bought some shitty turntables and started practing all day and night".
