DJ Marlon B is a New York DJ. Raised on the Upper Westside of manhattan with a father as a musician he was very much into music. He took a particular liking in Hip Hop. The music, the grafitti, break dancing, the clothes, the artists... But most of all he really wanted to learn how to DJ. He eventually learned how to DJ when his brother bought turntalbes. Marlon B then learned the basics at the age of 13. His brother would take him to clubs to watch DJ Red Alert and DJ Clark Kent. This influenced him to practice on his brothers set up until he developed his skills a bit more. By 14 and 15 he was spinning at house parties, Loft parties, community centers, Junior High Schools, High Schools, Colleges, Sweet Sixteens and would sometimes do an opening set at the Octagon night club. By then he had saved enough money to buy his own DJ set up. At 17 he opened up for Funk Master Flex. He got most of his work from his neighborhood friends and his brothers friends.
Marlon B continued to spin through High School getting parties here and there when ever they would pop up while interning in the Record Entertainment business. This led him to work with and meet lots of Hip Hop artists before they were super popular like NAS, The Notoroius B.I.G. and JAY-Z to name a few. After High School he got an opertunity to go on tour with Bone Thugs & Harmony working in promotions. The experience was interesting to him. Through all this he increased his knowledge in different genres of music, learned about the business side of music entertainment and got to experience going on tour with one of Hip Hops most popular groups.
After the tour Marlon B decided to be a full time DJ/Entrepreneur. He now runs his own succesful DJ company "Bizzy Entertainment" and currently spins all over New York and sometimes finds himself spinning abroad.
