Inspired by his cousin/producer Eric "Mo" in 1991,
Steve Saccente sought out to learn the art of Djing. Growing up in
Brentwood, NY, home of many influential hip-hop artists, hip-hop was an
important part of his life, and his turntables seemed to be the only way to
express his new interest.
After many months of practice, Steve was dubbed DJ Degree by a friend after
proving himself worthy at. The name stuck and for the next few years,
Degree began making a name for himself by performing at local nite clubs.
Upon entering the club scene, he met DJ's Finesse, Slynke and Skribble.
After performing with them at many renowned clubs nationwide, DJ Degree was
offered a job as a tour DJ for gold rap/dance recording artist K7 in 1999,
after DJ Finesse resigned from the group.
After being recognized by many different club promoters, while performing
shows across the U.S. in many large venues with K7 and other artists as
well, DJ Degree was then added to the roster of popular NYC based booking agent
Track Central Booking. With this, his career took off, and opportunities
were endless. Because of his versatility, superb mixing skills and ability to control a party, DJ
Degree became increasingly popular in the club scene.
Being a full time job now, DJ Degree travels extensively and has landed
resident spots in NYC dance clubs such as China Club, Crobar, Deep, Spirit, Flow,
Suede, NV, Coral Room, Eugenes, T-NY, Taj, Sessa, Lot 61, Gypsy Tea, Oragin, Mirage and Tavern to name a few. Aside from Djin' in
clubs, Degree holds a radio spot one night a week on a popular Long
Island radio station Party 105.3.
With this exposure, Degree has become a well respected hip-hop DJ, not only
by club goers, but by promoters and other artists as well. DJ Degree has
not yet peeked in his music career, therefore, he continues to work hard and
stay motivated and focused in the industry. "I set my goals high, sometimes unrealistic, this way I force myself to be the best I can and continue to do this." All in all, his hard work,
talent and dedication will lead to a successful career in this business
called music.......
